. at your left, NNW, the first corridor ( AD ) that we will call
'the foggy one'
. at your left, NW, the second one that we will call the 'the
twin'
To descend the foggy one, from the top follow the crete in the W direction, the corridor is at your right. The beginning is full with rock's, then it go through two walls and it become very tight. Coing out from it, the corridor become a large coomb which will bring you to the river near the azib ( small house for animals).
The best period to practice is marsch and april. Be carefull to the fog which is coming very often in teh afternoon. When the snow is frozen, the rope is necessary, especialy in the thighten passage
