Cox Col from Lake Italy

Starting from a great campsite on the shore of Lake Italy, this route circles around the west end of the lake before ascending up to Cox Col. It follows a use trail at times but it is possible/necessary to pick your own way across country at times. It is also possible to follow the southern shore of Lake Italy East to Toe lake through the scree slope that extends to the lake's edge. Although this route is significantly shorter it is not recommended due to the unstable and steep scree and boulders that must be crossed.
