Giordani and Vincent 4000m summits: embark on an exhilarating journey along the South ridge of P.ta Giordani and Pyramide Vincent. This route offers a unique opportunity to bag two peaks over 4000 meters in a single day tour. The climb is never overly challenging, making it accessible to a wide range of mountaineers. However, be prepared for a few exciting moments that require proper rock climbing skills.
Monte Rosa, with its innumerable peaks over 4000 meters, will be the setting for this mountaineering ascent in the heart of the Alps.
Our IFMGA Guides will take care of all climb details, maximizing safety and fun.
If you are a mountaineer who is discovering the peaks of the Giants of the Alps, but you don’t want to undertake technically difficult climbs, this is definitely the summit for you! We will take the Indren cable car and we will start on a roped team across the suggestive Monte Rosa glaciers. Surrounded by the 4000 meters of the Massif, such as Pyramide Vincet, Lyshamm, Naso del Lyskamm, Balmenhorn, Corno Nero and several others, you will reach the Punta Giordani summit, from where you will have one of the most stunning views of the area.
Climb Punta Giordani and Pyramide Vincent summits by the Soldier Ridge “Cresta del Soldato” is of intermediate technical difficult. It is highly recommended to be in good physical shape and good acclimatization. To guarantee the ascent we require the ability to face excursions of at least 1200m with ease, so as not to have problems on the day of the ascent. The high altitude can affect the performance of the climbers, having some experience at altitude or good acclimatization will make the ascent easier.
The leading Guide is a fully certified IFMGA Mountain Guide or Aspirant Mountain Guide.
To climb Punta Giordani and Pyramide Vincent by the Soldier Ridge we recommend high altitude, summer mountaineering clothing. Mountaineering boots suitable for crampons. Harness, crampons, ice ace, helmet, sling and a carabiner, poles if needed. Try to carry backpack as light as possible. Functional clothing for the day is usually enough. We suggest a 30-35 lt. backpack. Please take some snacks and drinks with you.
Climb the Soldier Ridge “Cresta del Soldato” is an ascent of intermediate technical commitment, in case you want to undertake the climb, we recommend that you contact us and discuss the details and the program with our guides before the expedition.
Our day begins in Staffal, where we’ll rendezvous with our guide at approximately 7:00 a.m.. First on the agenda: an equipment check to ensure we’re well-prepared for the ascent. We’ll board the cable car, ascending to Punta Indren. The ride offers glimpses of the surrounding peaks, building anticipation for our climb. Exiting the cable car station, we’ll set off in the direction of the old station and the Bors Glacier. As we traverse this glacier, we’ll reach the base of the climb. Here, we’ll typically remove our crampons. We’ll tackle the first part of the ridge, ascending toward P.ta Giordani. Along the way, we’ll seek out the most interesting steps the ridge has to offer. On top of Giordani, we’ll take a well-deserved and leisurely rest. The Alpine panorama stretches before us, inviting reflection. After our rest, we’ll continue along the second part of the climb, aiming for the summit of Piramide Vincent. For our descent, we’ll follow the regular route along the Lys Glacier, retracing our steps back to the valley.
