Routes as sport in Cuneo Area/Granda

Some protection was placed on this classic trad route of historical importance in 2008. The approach to the start is from the Giacoletti Hut, following the track towards Pian del Re, passing Superiore Lake and taking the path towards Punta Roma and then the right fork for Passo del Colonello. From here continue crossing the grassy depression and after a few turns you arrive at a narrow rocky gully. Cross this following the path between the rocks and proceed from ledge to ledge until at the Giacoletti pass marked by plaque at 2990m. The route is marked and often protected with FH and fixed ropes in the most exposed sections. Simulclimbing is the popular climbing technique on this route and an excellent place to practise this technique.
