| View from the summit of Piz dal Pal Tower |
We’ve been climbing up in the Albigna
Valley today. Such a great place to be – high up in the mountains, surrounded
by glaciers and golden granite spires – its amazing that you can get there so
easily from the valley.

| You have been warned! |
Today’s objective was an eye-catching
little spire called the Piz dal Pal Tower. We climbed the SW Arete, which gave
6 fantastic pitches that ended with a delicate few moves to gain the slender
summit. And all no harder that 5a! There was a bit of cloud bubbling around the
higher peaks, but generally, it was a beautiful day to be up high in the
mountains, with great climbing at a relaxed pace and very few people about. And
to top it off, some kind soul had added a nice new abseil station on the
summit, which now means you can put down on the far side of the peak in one 60m
descent. Bliss…
