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).
rest a bit 'and wait for the snow Smolle the right place ... but the clouds from the south side of deciding to break into the valley ... more do not delay!
The first part of the descent is on supporting crust ... so now we are certainly here for the snow ... but when the firn we find most beautiful in the fog following total ... luckily we can come out of the rocks beneath the clouds where the sun is still there ... but we wasted 200/300metri
Roll up your sleeves ... we're going to find some line between the uncut rocks (Big Tex, I see you like to explore as myself). Not bad.
overcome the cross bastard much better than us on the last leg ... and a slope overlooking the hospice. We find a beautiful valley ... but the snow gives way to crash ... that is so slow and pimps on falsipiani remain mired in difficulty ... ... we pull the last curve to the parking lot, not too tired but very happy.
Personally, I found a fantastic place and a good companion for new adventures ... rich booty!
We drive to Italy when you pour in front of the goal of the next trip ... Boshorn.
I recognized him right away ... in the end I did well to study the book all week ... see you soon.
N: B: TO ADDRESS SECURITY IN AN Off Piste (even the most 'trivial NEAR THE TRACKS) E 'needs you HAVE transceiver (ON TRANSMISSION IN) shovel and probe. Improvised NOT IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE AREA OR SNOW. ASK A QUALIFIED ALL INFORMATION ON THE CONDITIONS OF DANGEROUS ROUTES AND AREAS THAT ONLY THOSE AWARE OF THE POST. ESSENTIAL FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY AND 'PLAN FOR A HOUSE THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE TIME off-piste skiing, but do not stop THE ONLY BULLETIN: SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THE POST CAREFULLY THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROUTE AND DECIDE WHETHER THE LAST TIME TO GIVE UP IF and not 'SECURE OR TOO RISKY.
