Castore N face Map

From rifugio Quintino Sella or Mezzalama or Guide di Ayas. from the refuges you will have to climb up very much to reach the peak but it will be a true alpine conquer. From Cervinia using the lifts it's much easier and it can be done in one day. This descent is a true journey into the mountains. This north face is steep and exposed over seracs, it's not easy to see the line, and check the snow. Only for specialists!
