I will spare you for organizing this out ... Luke was forced to live out a small part, but Andrea is my friend and even if it is so complicated I'm so happy that you decided to come to the mountain today.
Despite everything ... despite what has happened to him personally and then that we do not tell, will he, if he will want to talk about it.
The fact is that we leave the choice to him and pulls out this Cimetta Bergamo. I can tell, I see that it is feasible, I see that they even climb the other day that, even with avalanche 3, we decide to go. To bad that we stop going to be leaving the hill crest.
The weather forecast is not much, patience. The difference is not much of that patience. The fee does not amount to much, never mind. The company, however, is fantastic and this is enough for me to make your day unique.
Meeting in Bione, where they are recognized and greeted by one of the madmen who were at dinner at Refuge Lecco (remember that madness just before Christmas?) And so that part.
Stop Teveno coffee and arrive to find the starting point. Turn the country far and wide with Andrea, who guides us to the football field where there is a small parking lot. There are already 4 or 5 cars ... but we do not have time to still come out of the car that car ... and again ... and again ... there are ... must get to park elsewhere. There are huge! We did not expect, it's Saturday, is a locking line ... but it is very popular.
we go. It's cold. The day is spectacular, there's a cloud in the sky ... but did not have to be ugly? Chatting
climb. Andrea you have further questions for him this year is the first Excursion and stops to look at the map does not relying on tracks. I leave him to do, I prefer to be quiet.
Stop banana and then we got out of the woods. Now that the temperature is pleasant, the view extends from the mountains that are coming into my desired (Redorta, Coca, Fireplace, Cimon of Bagozza ...)
putting on snowshoes between the 2 Huts and continue the climb in the middle of the ski mountaineers. There are many people to be Saturday. I know Andrea and I do not hurry, let him continue with his pace reassured by the fact that there is always someone around.
Meanwhile, try to understand what is our top. While we understand that we approach them is to the left ... crest with a very inviting. Most ski mountaineers stop someone on the crest of the hill but you see it. Beginning to think that Andrew will not make that ridge. I wait for him one last time: Andrea, you are comfortable with your step ... please! I glance over the phone, it takes, I start with Luca and the hill.
arrive and look at the crest gosh if it is steep! :)
increasingly convinced that Andrea did not rise from here start to go along with Luke, who is waiting for me, helps me, encourages me. We leave the snowshoes at the base of the steep climb. Very steep in places close to 40 ° (and hence why the F), but keeps the snow like a dream. It takes little, despite the effort, to climb the peak. Let the channel from which the ski mountaineers daring to fall after climbing the ridge skis.
We are alone, call Andrea on top of that is before us. Want to go here? I ask. No. All right, then wait for us to reach you.
We enjoy a few minutes for the top, do a little 'photo and then go down. The snow is spectacular and you go down well, although I'm not fast.
arrive and go up the hill from Andrea. Luca offered to accompany him on top, leaving the backpacks of the hill.
Excellent! I think I met, and I try to convince my partner. No, none of it: (
What can I say ... Once we had the same objectives, are now receding but this does not mean that we can not, however, still enjoy a nice walk together.
chewed something, and we are preparing to descend.
insist once again for the top and having had a refusal yet go down.
The snow is beautiful, the sun very much, but so hot!
Descent quiet, skiers are now almost all gone. We remove the snowshoes shortly after the Lower Hut. Now we are almost always in the shade (thankfully!) And the snow keeps well.
machine.
Gelato.
House.
I know, is not an incredible trip, but I'm happy. I'm glad for the day on the mountain in the snow, I'm glad for the crest and the top, I'm glad to have been with Andrew and Luke and I'm glad Andrea is finally back in the mountains ... even though I really fear for him is the last Output: (
We met thanks to the mountain and our friendship has grown thanks to her. Now we will keep cmq, although there will be no more mountains, but I'm really disappointed because certainly does not deserve a waiver so peremptory .
