Route description:
This route is identical to the route for Monte Vettore until you
reach the main saddle that separates the two peaks.
When arriving at this saddle, turn left and follow the visible path that
heads up the ridge. This ridge gets more narrow as you ascend higher. It is easier
to stay a bit on the left side. You will first arrive at a local summit called
Cima del Lago, elevation 2422 meter. This summit has about 70 meter prominence that
you now must descend before the ridge continues higher.
Continue to follow the ridge,
with no difficulties, to the summit.
Comments:
I had just climbed Monte Vettore, having a very nice view across to this mountain.
I decided that there would be enough time to also bag this "bonus peak". More seriously,
it looked like a much better route.
I left the summit of Monte Vettore at 1330, crossed Cima del Lago at 1400 and arrived at
the summit by 1415.
A very nice summit with a fun ridge route.
I rested and took my last
0.5 liter of water. The descent all the way back to the car was completed in about
one hour, with easy jogging from the main col.
