Shattered Mountain (Pizzo Emet - Timun, Val Spluga, normal route) | 4K Video

An ascent to Emet, the second summit of Val Spluga, Rhaetian Alps, on the Italy-Switzerland border, at 3,200 meters altitude.
The route departs from the postcard-perfect Lake Montespluga and passes by Bertacchi Hut and serene Emet Lake before reaching Emet pass, where a steep grassy slope takes to the beginning of the talus. After reaching the ridge, the route follows it to the summit through easy rocks (grade II) and tracks.
This used to be an easy mountaineering excursion, but it has become dangerous due to our glaciers melting. Today, the mountain is a gigantic heap of unstable slabs, and we witnessed parts (big parts) of it coming down hard. Some marks, as well, have become difficult to identify and follow due to collapses.
Despite this, which makes the high part of the route (from the grassy shoulder where the talus begins) not recommended, the scenario was surreal enough to make this experience intense and unforgettable, especially as, with the evening Bregaglia storm, the broken stones lined with white quartz all began to glitter.
The panorama and the nature all around, in any case, are still breathtaking.
