Description

This 2 day ascent of the Pilastro Vincent (4,045m) is a wild, challenging and exhilarating journey.

Located in the lost valley of the Piode glacier, in the Alps of Italy, the Pilastro Vincent is a jagged peak of red rock.

Over the course of 2 days, you will get to feel an incredible thrill, while enjoying some amazing views of one of the lesser known areas of the Italian Alps. however, don’t let the hidden nature of the Pilastro Vincent fool you because it is an amazing peak. The climb can be difficult however. But it is the challenge that makes the experience so special.

Each day of this trip is unique and exciting. To start, on the first day, we will walk for approximately 5-6 hours from Alagna to the Guglielmina hut. The first day’s climb will see us ascending almost 1,900 metres. At the hut, formally known as the Valsesia hut, you will get much needed rest for the day to come.

On day 2 of our journey, we will make our way to the Piode glacier. The glacier is a sight to behold, and you will get plenty of time to admire it. Afterwards, we will climb another 400 metres. This part of the adventure will be tough. It will involve some careful manoeuvring because the angles are a challenge. However, when you complete the difficult, yet satisfying ascent, you will be granted even more spectacular views. After that, we will make our way to the lifts that will take us back to the Indren glacier.

The challenge and the wild surroundings of the Pilastro Vincent make it perfect for those with adventurous spirits. And it is my pleasure to help you satisfy the desires of that spirit. So if you are looking for a thrill and a challenge in the Italian Alps, please send me a request and let me guide you up the Pilastro Vincent.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
