Climbing Route: From the Shelter you go down and from the board you continue to the left, by passing great rocks you go beyond the double basins of the lake inf. of the Ischiator (2064mt),until you meet the chart trail sign P26 on the rock that points out the right direction. You climb, with big bends up to the crossroad for the Pass Laris and the Tall Beak (Becco Alto). If you leave this last one on your right, after a few last narrow bends, you reach the lowland that goes along on the right the lake of the middle Ischiator (2010mt). The path then climbs on little stones and earth, with big curves until a rocky crag. Once you climb this last one, you continue over great rocks smoothed by the glacial period, to reach the back with a great stone on which you see indications to continue on the right in light descent to go along the lake of the Ischiator. (2755mt). Once that the small descent ends, on the left a sign points out to continue along the lake. Always on great rocks, the path leaves on the left the lake and it climbs on a stony crest until the deep north channel of the Corborant appears in front of us. A path brings us on the right of the channel, and at the bottom of the smooth rocky wall we find the chains. By following them you reach the passage of the Marmot. Always on the right the chains continue to go to the great “plate”. A rocky crag on the left allows us to spot the visible grassy trace that climbs it and ends at the Top of the Corborant (3010m). The whole route is signaled by charts trail and red nicks.
