Ready to leave

Coming down from Rif. Tierser Alpl we retraced our footsteps to Passo Duran, and then turned left
towards Rifugio Molignon. There is actually a link path, shown in green above, which is not marked and is slightly
shorter. This link path fits in with the description in the Colletts notes.

Path goes off to the left, rather than along the road
