(Southern Grey Virgin).
Cassino, Alamein and Takrouna, were collectively known as the Grey Virgins.
Attempts to climb them were made over many years and they were among the last significant peaks in
the Alps to be climbed. Cassino Peak was originally climbed from the Grey Glacier along the South
Ridge. From the low summit, traverse under rock pinnacles and up the right-hand face to the summit
proper.
