April 29, 2022,Randonnee Soum de Pene-1626m

Nice loop planned but unfortunately the mist was part of it, depriving us of a magnificent view. The ridge is delicate to cross, be careful in case of humidity.

Circuit by the ridges. People prone to dizziness beware, technical course on riprap but superb view. The climb is tough. Marking problem at about km 8.5 we missed the junction. Attention. Extension of approx. 1.5 km. Uninteresting descent in laces but you have to go back to the car 😁
