Flank start at Margun, NW of ski lift (easily recognizable on map and with view from middle station). About 30 - 45 min on foot from the middle station, downhill. Looks easy, but some pitfalls: -- Start area very uneven, likelihood of tripping -- Stones and rocks with some sharp edges where lines can get caught -- Requires discipline due to walking; in unsuitable conditions, be prepared to descend (approx. two hours) -- Detachments come directly up the mountain in the afternoon, quite turbulent, especially in combination with the wind coming from Maloja. Co-ordinates give the starting point, which I found best, below the path. Altitude 2496m
