Overview
Getting There
Hike up into the Val Masino to the Gianetti Hut. You can stay here with all of the yahoos who are going to be guided up the Regular Route on Badile, or you can get gawked at like we did camping just north of the hut.
Route Description
Gain the ridge by heading up the broken ground right from the base of the face that makes up the west side of the ridge. Follow the meandering line weaving through towers and gendarmes, past multiple unnecessary bolts until you get to where the ridge steepens. Follow the crack system up and left of the crest of the ridge to a corner that heads more or less to the top of Pt. Angelina. From here scramble to the summit.

additional infohi it is punta Angela, not punta Angelina. Further, there are two possible places to gain the ridge and start climbing. if you take the first one, it adds 2 hrs of really nice climbing (max grade 5b french) to the route. if you take the second one (classic, most often used), you start with only 3 easy pitches before the first difficult one. another thing: if you mean by grade the technical difficulty, it is VI, not IV. and it would be convenient to mention that the route is best known under the name "spigolo vinci", or "vinci ridge".
