3/3
We departed at 6:15. Myself as the guide, my son and a friend of mine. The friend of mine was never on a glacier before and is not used to scrambling so I planned with plenty of spare time. I defined 11am for the latest return point.
We were slow but well within the predefined time frame. The glacier is almost snow free with several crevascres, however it's an easy glacier, mostly almost flat. The final scrambling up to the summit I just did with my son, my friend decided to wait for us as he didn't feel confident enough to do the final scrambling. So we just spent a few minutes at the summit enjoying the views.
Back at the hut we refilled and descended back to Curaglia.All in all a little bit more than 800m ascend and almost 2000m descent.
Back home at 22:20 - exhausted but happy.

I’ve been on #Strava for a long time now. Back in the beginning, half of my “feed” was friends of mine posting casual #ultramarathons, 100 km bike rides, and #mountaineering adventures. Nowdays, it’s the same friends posting casual ultramarathons and bike rides, but also complaining about how much their knees/backs/ankles/whatever hurt. As far as I can tell, they haven’t slowed down much, they just hurt more.
Cheers to you all, aging friends!
