We did the North Ridge of Piz Badile in the Bregaglia a couple of years ago. A couple hours walk to the hut, a day going up, a night in the bivy hut, a day coming down. Most people descend the other side to another hut and walk back around - I think you need crampons and an axe for that option. You could get up and down the ridge in a day but you'd have to be good (30+ pitches). An absolute classic.
Ps. We're in a similar age bracket to you. |
