GR20

Well having now led one trip over the GR20 I can see why it is labelled as Europe's toughest trek.  I am currently leading my second trip on the GR20 and we are at the half way point.  The northern half contains the famous 'cirque de la Solitude' although it can get rather busy, this section includes a 200m descent using scrambling and chains followed by 200m ascent using initially a ladder then chains then a final scramble up some loose scree to reach the rim of the cirque.

The southern section contains a number of Alpine style ridges which give some splendid views.  I return back to UK next weekend then off leading in the Dolomites for a week.
