Blenio NW climb
A short, very steep climb above Blenio in Ticino. Its 2.5 TEP puts it in the easier half of the catalogue. Its steepest 500 metres run at 30.3% and start 263 m in, in the middle of the climb, so pace the first part. Most runners need 8 to 13 minutes. Graded alpine hiking: exposed, rocky ground that needs sure feet and some use of the hands. Facing northwest, it stays cool and keeps its snow late into spring. The nearest named summit, Pizzo Bareta at 2,501 m, is 255 m away.
