- Time
-
Start early to avoid the worst heat of the day, and take plenty of water!
- Rock Type / Quality
-
The sector "Placche rosse" is exposed to rockfall! Especially if there are parties in the upper part of the routes "Lucertola" and "La Serenissima". Be careful when rappelling past loose stones on the wall! Once down, do not stay on the base longer than necessary.
- Protection / Material
-
If you descend on foot, a 50 m rope is sufficient; Rappelling back down Alhambra is not advised (but if you do it, you will need two 50m ropes).
- Descent
-
From the exit of the route, climb about 50 m up the grassy slope to the top, then descend towards high-voltage electricity masts. A little below the second mast, you will find the first abseil. 6 x 22 metre abseils brings you to the foot of the Brunone sector and back to the path.
