Route "Qafa Thores - Blue Eye"

Qafa Thores is one of the high passes that connects the Theth side of the Accursed Mountains to neighbouring valleys, and this route pushes up to it before dropping to a spring-fed pool locals call the Blue Eye, a smaller, quieter cousin of the famous Syri i Kaltër further south. It's graded hard for good reason: sustained altitude gain, exposed scree in places, and weather that can turn quickly once you're above the treeline. This is a route for hikers with real mountain experience, tackled May to October and never alone if it can be helped.
