Dente del Gigante

Vertical gain: 638m

Climbing time: 6h

Meeting point: meeting at the departure of the Skyway cable car (Courmayeur), for equipment check and short briefing.

Ascent with the lifts to the Torino refuge (3,375 m). Go along the glacier in the direction of the giant's tooth, leave the Aiguille Marbreès on the right, after a snowy gully and a steep slope of debris you reach the "gum" of the Dente.

From here with aerial passages and the help of fixed ropes you reach the top, some abseils in the void lead back to the base. Return to the cable car retracing the ascent route.
