Le belle giornate dell’inizio settimana, il freddo secco e pungente facevano si che si prospettassero Per domenica delle condizioni ideali per la prevista escursione in programma: Ascensione del crestone sud del Dolcedorme (direttissima).
Ma qualche dubbio c’era. Di questo inverno ballerino che ogni fine settimana ci gave rain and bad weather was not to be trusted.
fact reached Friday the weather changed. Rain in the valley and snow in the mountains at high altitudes. Me and Max (organizers), immediately we realized that, unfortunately, what they hoped for, namely an output with hard snow, which would give us the chance to wear crampons, had vanished.
Also Sunday, the weather was not rosy. So even as the membership had been distorted.
But we are not people who give up easily. Indeed the greater the difficulties and become more stubborn and perhaps a bit 'stubborn. Then it must be said that in winter you can not always wait
good weather or that there are conditions ideal to make the exit. Sometimes you dare. Sometimes you also risk. Often the best trips are out that way. Sometimes you have to have the courage to put into play against adverse weather. Of course with all possible prudence and humility.
Sunday morning as we are four. I, Maximus. Dominic and Caramel. Caramel, who has made a long journey from Reggio Calabria (in fact he is a member of the CAI of Reggio Calabria), in order to participate in the exit.
raining but as we get to share the rain turns to snow. A Valle Piana welcomes us snow, snow snow underfoot and overhead. A great white coat that covers the entire forest. Snow because they are two days coming down continuously. As we go, deeper and deeper, but the efforts and hard work are rewarded by the charming and immaculate performance that gives our eyes. That alone is enough to compensate us for our tenacity. Valle Cupa
the saddle, turn left and start climbing the ridge. The deep snow makes it difficult to get older but we go forward with the strength and the desire to go up, measuring, enjoy this day because it stopped snowing and the sky is opening up, because every time a piece of blue emerging from the gray clouds. The only obstacle is too much snow. Arrived at the rocks, we begin to climb and enjoy the some passages mixed. Meanwhile, the odd ray of sunshine every now and then peeps and confirms that we were right. The output was possible. You had to have only the courage to dare. Continue to rise even at the cost of big labor. Sometimes the snow will not allow you to take a step, just to get on and go back. Sometimes meetings of small steps that catch your eye. Let us not forget that we are mountaineers and also in conditions like these we always try to make some variant or climb a particular passage.
As we move forward we realize that though we can not reach the summit. The time now do not allow it and even more to want to be optimistic, with the snow conditions current, reached the summit very late and we could not go down with the light of day. So we decided to get up at Base Camp. We continue to climb at the cost of many efforts, go over a nice groove mixed and we finally reach a plateau called Base Camp.
consider the excursion ended. Nearly one. No it was easy to get here with today's conditions. We stopped a bit 'to take a breath and do some' photos. The rest of the brave. A handshake and a hug put the seal on the hard climb today.
then begin to decline to return the machines. The descent, even if it lasts long and the same, has no history.
conclude this excursion with a great inner joy and confirming that as far as possible, you can get.
E 'with their faces tired and aching limbs that we arrive at the car, but also with a new force: the force of daring.
