Monte Crostis from Val Alba

Type: Interesting

Description:
06-09-2015: (Filmed with Samsung HMX-H100P/EDS Video Camera) Panorama of the secondary summit of the Zuc dal Bor group. Follow marker 450, which continues even after crossing the stream (signs for Casera Crostis) through a nice forest. The trail is well marked and after a couple of descents and ascents leads to a small col from which Casera Crostis (ruins) is soon visible nearby, leaving it to the right. From the casera climb to Forcella Vidus; pay attention to the last section where the trail is not clearly visible. From the col follow the long and rugged ridge northwards. Caution on some exposed sections on rocks. Reaching the base of the rocks below the summit, it's not easy to spot the path, but looking carefully after a awkward traverse on rhododendrons, a gravel gully with an orange mark is spotted. Now climb rocks along the ridge and soon to the summit. We descend to Forcella Fonderis and then to Bivacco Bianchi. Consider the considerable length and elevation gain, significantly increased compared to the arrival/departure difference by at least four significant climbs, which are particularly unpleasant on the return.
