The morning started very misty and the weather forecast was not good. We took in the Wasenhorn and had one glimpse of the valley through the clouds. To continue on the ridge was not advisable under these conditions, so we then descended to Alpe Veglia in Italy. Nasty descent down some short cliffs exposed by the retreating glacier, with several metal chains and footholds. Later it started raining, enough to make us put on rain gear but not enough to soak us. It only lasted half an hour and when we reached the mountain hut around lunch time we were dry and there was even some sun. Lazy afternoon.
