Alpine demanding descent in the Adamello massif.

Alpine demanding descent in the Adamello massif.

Leaving the trail at about 1,750 m and following a faint track toward a man-made structure, descend near the first flow (first equipped rappel, approx. 1,700 m).

The descent continues down an increasingly steep valley where, after the initial slabs and toboggans, you enter the more deeply incised central section. A quick succession of rappels leads to a 50 m drop (C50) at a bend in the gorge. From the base of the 35 m drop (C35), a boulder-hopping/scrambling section begins (about 20 minutes), leading to the final sequence: three rappels up to 20 m that reach the second, spectacular C50. At its base there is a nice 9 m jumpable pool (C9) followed by the last toboggans before exiting on the left shortly before the old power plant.
