The second one is located in the middle of the pass, downstream of the neve, in order to start the ascent in the early morning and reach the summit by nine o'clock.
This part is steeper and therefore more difficult for the horses, however, there are few kilometers to get there, this day also serves to prepare mentally for the next day.

The ascenscion

The departure is very early in the morning, go around the snow bank, it is advisable to equip yourself with a pair of crampons and a right ice axe, then comes a frozen scree on the ridge until the summit!
Be careful on the way down, slowly but surely using your steps from the top.
