August 13, 2024,Refuge Sèlè

Almost 1000 meters in altitude, including the final section of the climb to the hut, mostly secured with ropes and with climbing passages. I felt like I was in the DAV climbing hall, but without any additional safety equipment. In the snowfield you can see a chamois and an ibex. The chamois at the end was only a few meters …

At the end rope insured. The most difficult piece is quite near the beginning. If that was ok you can do it. Gloves would be useful.
