Piz da Peder Bucs (3001 m) - hike from Naz

Piz da Peder Bucs (3001 m) is a mountain peak between Piz Salteras and Piz Bleis Marscha. So far it had only one hikr report, and I think it's rarely visited. It is also fairly difficult to get up there.

Start of the hike shortly before 8 AM near the vacation home village of Naz. I followed the wrw marked trail up through Val Tschitta. Somewhere at elevation 2100 m, I had to leave the trail and take a detour to not get too close to the suckler cows. Afterwards I headed for P.2285, and the small lake at 2550 m. Furter up it is really tricky terrain due to unstable rocks and scree. Luckily there were some snowfields left, which I could walk on. But also here caution was needed to ensure there were no holes under the snow.

After the end of the last bigger snowfield at elevation 2880 m, I ascended up to the NNW ridge between two distinct rock towers. This involves some climbing (I-II). The second rock tower can be bypassed in the west flank. After that it is fairly easy for a while. The final ascent (last 20 m) to the summit is again more difficult and involves climbing I-II. Meanwhile it had become more cloudy, and it looked like thunderstorms were developing further south.

For the descent, I initially followed the same route down to elevation 2700 m. There I enjoyed my lunch. Since the weather was again improving, I hiked to the pass at P.2789 and past Lai Negr on the way. After that I followed the wrw marked trail through Val Mulix back down to Naz.
