Shunga-La-She - GR569046 traverse: 16.3km with 1,400m gain in 7hrs return.
Shunga-La-She is an easy to moderate scramble, with surprisingly solid rock on the ridge; GR569046 - another level, good difficult scramble with few exposed movements.
Wanted to connect to Highwood Peak, but looked like it's not a scramble after GR569046.
Got really windy on the way back; almost as a norm, the weather started to deteriorate earlier than was saying in a forecast.
