Breithorn from Sempione - skialp

The week started right at home. Monday I get the books I ordered ... including "touring in Valdossola. Completely ignorant of this valley and its "relative" proximity to Milan. This book has opened my world! The first result was to read and reread all the routes. Break it down mentally to altitude, exposure, difficulty and beauty. But how to judge them by a few lines and a photo in black and white. The mind wanders free. Find more information on the Internet. ... But I want them all! Just saw a mental battezziamone ... ... ... a classic start to go there and get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe area ... and I
We Tex (new entry known to the w-end before the Pisganino). It was decided to go to the Breithorn by the Simplon Pass. The climb is shared even by those who will do the Monte Leone, also with its Breithorn 3436mt allow a better view of all the peaks around.
parked hospice around 7.30. In my opinion a bit 'late, Tex second too soon. Eventually he will be right for the snow (did not particularly warm and still have some 'duretta) and I to the weather (and an hour later the clouds had rolled up forcing us to surrender everything).
The parking lot is full.

skialp We are in paradise. We see a little trace file 'everywhere ... but our goal has a path rather obvious and forced. The sun peeps out from behind. The snow is hard. Climb the rapid exploitation rampant. Many do not use them but now with the split now I feel more confident. Tex as part of a locomotive. After a few minutes it takes me 50, 100 meters and not be able longer to fill. I let it go, I prefer to keep my pace and not make me pull the neck. Arrival in beam under the Hubschhorn slightly downhill ... and emerge all the limits of split.

I realized that you can not let slide down the half boards as skis, or risk losing control or worse, the risk of tearing the attacks from the table (thank goodness I screwed bush instead!) . Struggle hard to pass this point ... luckily now opens the beautiful glacier dell'Homattu leading more or less gently to the hill at 3300mt.

Tex is still ahead. Two hours non-stop climb at a good pace (if not for some shots). I forced myself to take a break of 10 'after the first two hours but he is back and seems to want to stop (I had to take the rifle !!!). Fortunately, slows down (ie waiting for me) and I can catch my breath. We already 3000mt
leave ... ... the last few yards up the hill ... it will weigh more was the break? Or the frantic start? Or the fee? However gain the hill. The view opens on the Monte Leone and the glacier at its base.

The show is immense. The traverse to the Lion is "unwise" to snowboarding ... so, as planned, we are aiming right at the peak of the Breithorn in ... bottom of the ridge is really sweet and missing a few meters.

arrive at the top soon enough. On the south side of the snow seems to be better (perhaps benefited from the sprinkling of the night). We groped the crossing but the clouds say no! We settle for the descent, we change ourselves, ritual photos (too bad for a group of French people are "camping out" right on the cross ... but any place that I say no!) And then immediately down the hill which they take less wind (the share is heard).

Elephantiasis Roller Used

BEDOLE Skialp

Today I realized that bad luck and luck really have an edge ... especially labile in the mountains where conditions change from minute to minute, where now there is good snow, now split, now jelly, where you sometimes find 40cm of fresh air before her, the other you can not enjoy because the clouds affect the games.
left Milan Passo Tonale destination. The idea is to make the Pisganino maybe going up to the Horns of BEDOLE. When we get there is beautiful sunshine, but the wind pushes already threatening clouds. The tip of the Adamello is hidden.

Presena Going up to the glacier begins to snow. It's cold. Maybe I'm dressed a little 'light. The descent to Mandrone m'infreddolisce even more. I can not wait to get their skins and start climbing. There are several inches of new snow. It seems that the rapid disruption of the night he has made many more than the expected 5 cm. But under the snow is running. At some points it sinks into dangerous holes. The south does not help. At one point we feel a bit 'lost.

clouds swallow the lines and even out the landscape. Fortunately, many ants in front of us who already go up to people to Pisgana Pisganino. In addition, the GPS gives us valuable track a vague idea that we must go a little 'further.
now get their skins. Although the snow is soft to immediately put in more rampant as a precaution. We climb. As always the first 200 meters are a bit 'heavy but then the rhythm comes in, the legs turn, regulates the heartbeat and breathing becomes continuous. Just below the neck and the slope increases never become extreme ... even if some skialp lies down (heh heh ... I have the rampant !!!).

arrive just below the horns and .... the sky is torn. The sun illuminates the "bathtub" of Pisganino showing well-40cm of fresh ready for us.

Those who have already started down screaming and enjoy. The pace speeds up thinking about the descent. We arrive at the top. Photos of the rite.

Not a sandwich, now we are preparing for the descent, we must seize the moment. Seeking a place to accommodate all. I realize that the operations to re-unite the split, remove the skins and are settling down a bit 'long. I laced the table, raised his head ready to go ... and clouds everywhere! Beber has already dropped by 50 meters, but I can not even see it. I hear his I take voice but not even the shadow. We wait. Worse. Starts to snow. Change the lens in favor of the yellow. None. Do you see a bat. We wait. Even worse. Beber calls, but we do not see it either. A few more minutes. Now the clouds are raised just enough to catch the details of the tracks in front of us. This is the time, now we will see the sun. Let's go. The snow is beautiful. After a few meters back good visibility.

Certainly not the sun but better than the white-out than before. Greedy devour the slope playing with the tracks, crossing and ollandole on. We arrive at the bottom where you have to channel in a must (although in reality there was left a beautiful virgin channel that could be done).

Here the snow is heavy. In addition to those already tritatissima went before us. Now the fun is over. We know that there is only "return". We arrive in the valley that flowed was named "Valley of avalanches. I remember some cold ice forced a dribling Tavolara exhausting for us.

This year, the descent is much more agile. We get to the forest (where four bold old men with long beards that looked like elves of the forest, with lots of crap mountain guide, we have also stripped sciandosi ram, rocks and pine cones!) And in short, to the Bear Tavern.

regained the machine you stop for a well-deserved beer ... and already talking about future trips and downs in the tray. The weather escape but there is still time to enjoy these remnants of winter.

How To Build A Physics Toy

Horns of a framework to Sancha - skialp

Saturday, April 10. Time Trips. I spent the week with the Swiss 1:50000 map of the area Madesimo in hand, to assess what top do. In fact it was "love at first sight" for the lace panel. This is a summit of 3000 meters, with a beautiful valley north all to enjoy. According to the map (which shows the routes skialp) go up from Starleggia pace of service via the south ridge, then descendeth at an altitude of 2700 just below the summit and down the valley north. The road to Starleggia is closed until May, so we start from the camp just across the parking lot of the funicular Campodolcino. 7.00 am we start.

The first 400 meters are sparsely covered with snow and winding road (which forces me to go by foot). There is no way to cut as you go up in the midst of rocky crags. There is also a layer of ice that makes it particularly difficult and uncertain step. I'm struggling for an hour gliding like a skater with a 20kg rucksack on his back ... I'm impatient when, finally, the road back is completely covered with snow. Basically they tried to sweeping the road, with failure, then they withdrew. Now the piles of snow melt during the day, flooding the track, but everything freezes at night, making the path to disaster. Drain the split from the pack and start to proceed on track hard and well beaten (there were three snowshoe in front of me). Without the enormous burden now I feel like flying. Arrival in Starleggia. The country is sleeping under a thick blanket of snow.

I do not think anyone lives there during the winter. Many chimneys are sealed to prevent the snow came to clogging. I'm sick of following the road and you decide to cut along the path that passes through the houses. Arrive in a square linen with a wall. There a narrow staircase, but the split is not passed. Cutting off the wall. I go up ... and ... vuumm the snow gives way and sink full leg, blocked by snow on the half-press table. The other is left out and force me into a curled position and embarrassing. How the heck .... I hardly free ... I realize that it went well, I could hurt me ... sometimes it is feared so much natural hazards and then ... I leave
Starleggia and the road behind.

Once this rock band will open the valley. The view is enchanting. There are pastures here and there to stay up here ... must be a spectacle. The silence m'avvolge. We are at 1800 ... Party from 990 ... but I do not feel the fatigue ... the show that appears in front of me gives me energy. Before me, a natural basin. With the mind I guess the track ahead. Better to go there. There could not because svalangare. Step up and then around so the slope will be sweeter ...

are absorbed in these thoughts when I check the GPS track ... em'accorgo of being out of track of 500 meters!
halt. He pulls out the map. I orient new. I realize that I'm aiming to Pizzo Sancha. The lace panel on the left, but ... I can not believe it. Pizzo Quadro looks like a black tip, rocky. The last 300 meters would however, in skiing. I recognize the saddle, but the line of descent is not clear. There are grooves that are interrupted, rocks a bit 'everywhere, and especially avalanche falls a bit' everywhere, very hard snow, or worse, a lot of snow that has been hanging there ... if I had followed to the letter I would be around on that side without being able to see the full down ... so I'd just kicked in big trouble!

I turn to the top I was aiming for. It's called Pizzo Sancha, 2714mt, north-east. It is no less the share that I could do, skis, pointing to the picture. In addition, its beautiful hillside already makes me a foretaste descent. Fine, I get back in gear. Arrival in
2400mt. Missing 300 meters but the slope, stood at 30 degrees and the snow tends to run heated and moistened a bit 'by all parties. I'm tired and plow through with several diagonal and reversals. The snowshoe in front of me does not make less effort. For a moment I hope to use its track. I take off one foot and strength. I sink a few cm. All right, I take off everything, I take this opportunity to remove snow from a huge base of skins and childbirth. Not even a step down in the snow and are up to the knee. Can not move ... so it all redone. Now the skins are clear of ice ... but do not seem to grip. Every 10 steps I have to catch his breath. But I'm missing so little spending every ounce of energy left. Check the rocks where the trail disappears ... finally paving. The last 50 feet are more relaxed, but no less strenuous. Arriving at the top. I am 13.30. I'm just (i snowshoeing stopped to bivouac Ca Bianca, 2500). I look around and I am filled with happiness. I feel ecstatic mystic (probably a reflux of endorphins in the blood). Exhausted, I eat a sandwich forces hoping to get back to back down. I take a good half hour. I prepare. The first turns are a little 'uncertain. The snow is soft and compact, but my legs seem unaccustomed to the control of the board. I stop. I know that the descent will be rapid and can not play after so much effort. I get up and Parties shall focus on the curves. I recovered. Check on the steepest part.

The snow is excellent. I had studied carefully going up, I saw that right has been protected by the ridge. I did not want to ruin it even with the track up to enjoy it then. There's just me ... and my signature will be lonely for a while '. I stop just below to take a picture ... unfortunately from where I am not caught ... but it is vivid in my heart. A few seconds and I find myself on a more open and flat. Here the snow is heavily heated. I curse myself for not wax a board. I am forced to keep the speed to avoid getting bogged down.

arrive over the last change of slope above the valley Starleggia. I have two options: follow the trail up and down diagonally to the long and continuous plane inclined though poorly, or throw me straight into the channel that points to the center of the catchment area ... do not even think about it and pull straight up to the hump ... plan. M'infosso between the bends of the river now covered, now more free.

I have to walk out of here ... I turn to greet the beautiful summit. A long climb for a few seconds of joy, it is always worthwhile. The rest of the descent is not exciting ... even the wood has preserved the quality of the snow. Now go down is really heavy. Arrival at the paved road passing through a slot in use (mine warning signs make me a little 'worry.) The treacherous ice is now gone.

The descent is more agile, even if infinite. Check in to the machine. It's hot. The melting snow creates waterfalls and rushing streams. The coverage is still high but the heat is voracious. We must start from higher ... but after the trip today, I know that the season is still far from the end.
