From the hut climb down a few metres and straight after the flag pole take the right, at the sign, following the numerous red signs up to the Pass of Pagarì. The path descends for 10 minutes before its 180 degree turns get more tightened and then gets to the little valley below the Pass of Pagarì (roughly at 2650 metres). Having reached this, at a tall kern, keep to the same direction in which you began climbing down (instead of climbing down to the twin lakes of Clapier, in direction of the Refuge de Nice). |
|
Climb up and follow the kerns leading top the top of Clapier. The route smoothly underpasses the peak, shifting to the right. Please during the ascent pay close attention to the way you are taking: in so doing you will avoid to go for the wrong path on the way down, (the wrong path being the one signalled by the taller kerns that leads to the twin lakes of Clapier and then to the Refuge de Nice). |
