Pescia Lunga - Pizzo Ruscada

A short, very steep climb above Costa in Ticino. The gradient is steady, with no stretch much steeper than the 22.6% average. Expect 8 to 13 minutes. At 3.5 TEP it sits in the easier half of the catalogue. North-facing, so it holds shade and snow longer than the sunny side of the valley. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. The nearest named summit, Pizzo Ruscada at 2,014 m, is 310 m away.
