Geocache Description:

Scopi (3190 m.s.l.m)

In Ticino niente “quattromila” in compenso ci sono 50 “tremila”, lo Scopi è uno di loro con i suoi 3190m, accanto a tenergli compagnia si trovano il Pizzo del Corvo (3015m) il Piz Miez (3119m) e Piz Vallatscha (3021m). Raggiungere la cima dello Scopi è tecnicamente facile, difficoltà T4/T5 della scala del Club Alpino Svizzero, però il dislivello è di quelli importanti: 1300m di salita in circa 4km. L’auto può essere lasciata all’uscita del galleria paravalanghe del passo del Lucomagno, si sale sul tetto di quest’ultima e la si percorre in direzione S per circa 1 km fino al WP1. Da questo punto si inizia a salire, con un paio di tornanti si arriva ad un vasto pianoro erboso da cui si inizia ad intravvedere la vetta. Si tiene la destra salendo ancora per pendii erbosi fino a quota 2488m da qui una ripida traccia su fini detriti porta fino alla cresta di calcescisti che percorsa in direzione E porterà fino in vetta. A circa 100 metri dalla vetta compaiono nuovamente dei segnavia bianco-rosso-bianco che indicano l’ultima arrampicata. La cima dello Scopi è ricoperta da radar per le radiocomunicazioni il cache è nascosto al di fuori di tale perimetro. In considerazione della difficoltà dell’escursione, questa volta non ha potuto accompagnarci Federica che però ha voluto personalmente preparare la cache. Per l'andata ed il ritorno calcolare dalle 5 alle 6 ore.

In Ticino nothing "four thousand" on the other hand, there are 50 "three thousand", the aim is one of them with its 3190m next to keep him company are the Pizzo del Corvo (3015m) Piz Miez (3119m) and Piz Vallatscha (3021m ). Reaching the top of the purposes is technically easy, trouble T4/T5 scale the Swiss Alpine Club, but the gap is the important ones: 1300m of ascent in about 4km. The car can be left at the exit of the tunnel avalanche of Lukmanier pass, climb on top of it and follow it in the direction S about 1 km to WP1. From this point begins to rise, with a couple of bends we reach a broad grassy plain from which you start to glimpse the summit. He holds his right and climb again to the grassy slopes to a height of 2488m from here a steep path for debris on to the ridge of “calcescisti that traveled in the direction of E will lead to the peak. At about 100 meters from the summit of the trail again appear white-red-white indicating the last climb. The top of the purposes is covered by radar Radiocommunications the cache is hidden from the outside that perimeter. Considering the difficulty of movement, this time was unable to accompany Federica, she will personally prepare the cache. For the outward and return calculated from 5 to 6 hours
