June 19, 2022,Val Varaita Anello casteldelfino-colle battaiola-chianale

Very steep and technical descent from Colle dell Battaiola, partly exposed in counter-slope then with tight hairpin bends on roots and drops. High technical preparation required.

The initial tour planned to go to the top of Pietralunga but alone it's too risky.. the last 60 m of altitude difference are in vertical rope and if you slip or something happens you're dead! So I highly recommend if you are alone to make the descent directly from Sprazzo Superiore!
