Overview
It is never easy to reconstruct the history of Alpine mountaineering and, when the maintenance work of man, of a mountain. Not even the most famous ones. We may think that what it means for those seeds or unknown altogether! Become the search for a needle in a haystack. But with a little good will in any good quality is achieved, without claiming to have obtained the Absolute Perfection, that is not everything in this world. Incidentally, in the words of the Academic Renato Chabod, it is best an imperfect work, but existing, as a perfect, you may not ever see the light.
In this spirit, we have carried out over the decades, a thorough research work on the books (just about it) and with the testimony of the people (also in small numbers, but valuable). Some "old experts" are gone forever: of all I like to remember "Agostino" Zulian of Luin-Brissogne, always available to each initiative and information on His Mountain, who died in 2012, his ashes drifts in the Walloon of the Laures, him so expensive.
On other occasions has been the passion, grown up from early youth, to animate this Love to search for facts, stories and chronicles lived or happened, even far away in remote times. On other occasions again we were the protagonists. In other spectators. And other still fascinated listeners. But the Spirit of th'Emilius towers above everything and it is sufficient to get close to the mountain and to smell the scent of her long, drawn out and mysterious history. We, from humble archaeologists of the mountain, we have tried to reveal some of his secrets. In this page, you add the other two previous, and all three together parts of a work dated older now almost four years, which requires a review to get outdated and not "heavy", you girders around a little and a small of everything, certainly everything will discover corresponds to reality, or at least a truth told by the protagonists. Throughout remains, however, the subjectivity of the stories, which is always something very personal, and often not questionable or without contracditory. It is thus a
NEVERENDING STORY, or nearly so,
in fact, histories, events and news about this fascinating mountain, which has often changed its name in more than two centuries of history. But this is not that a small grain of sand compared to the Geological Age of Mount Emilius, like all the old ladies, hides it in his wrinkles. We, however, we tried to partially remove the veil, without claiming to reveal the '"arcane". Hoping to make you happy!
East Face
From the top of this beautiful and perfect triangular mountain, which, together with those of Mount Avic, Mount Delà, Tersiva's Point, Garin Peak, Becca of Nona, The Grivola, Great Nomenon, Bioula Point, Tzaboc's Beak or Luetta's Point, Tighet's also Tignet's Tower, Mount Paramont, Berrio Blanc and in parallel, but more to the South, Rosa of the Banchi, Tower of Lavina, Great and Little Arolla, Sanit'Orso ower, Tower of the Great Saint Peter, Patrì's Tops, Roccia Viva, Great Rousse and Sassière, down below to France, Great Assaly, form an almost endless array of magnificent pyramids that follow each at once drum and out of sight in this area of Graian Alps, dominated by the glacial mass of Great Paradise. From the Summit of Emilius all unfold before your eyes admired alpinist. But looking down, we realize, almost with a shudder of anxiety and fear, to have right under the foot a terrible abyss, formed by the steep sides and walls falling down in the direction of wild walloons, marked by the flow of torrents shining. Towards the Northern Slopes another huge spectacle unfolds by the passage of the Alps from the North Graian Alps to the Pennine, Combins and Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, and, even further, to the far node, towards the East, the Mount Rosa (= from Roizà = Glacier) Mountain Chain.
Simultaneously come to mind at first then more and more clearly blurred the images of many battles played, of the episodes recorded and stories of which we have read or heard the story over time. In a distant, remote, almost no longer ours and forever and all unfathomable, unexplainable in the past. Inexorably. A time that never comes back in your memory or if you do not fancy that some old image or picture, still turn on again ...

NOTE SETUP PAGE
This page refers to the third part of the total (see the first floor of the Opera), in this last one, primarily consisted in the second and has been voluntarily interchanged with the next and thus represents a new scan of the various sections of which consists the same. Technically the same is divided into four sections plus the "Acknowledgements", which, again, similar for each of the three analytical pages. 1) - In the first, immediately after the ritual "Overview", you treat all the events that concern, listing them chronologically, mainly the Monte Emilius and highlighting a few facts about the surrounding peaks. 2) - means the subsequent repeats, using the same address, all that's happened in the succession of winters, but at the same widens further to the tops of the district, but still related to the Subgroup of Emilius. 3) - the third section addressed to anything significant happened in climbing or climbing important solitarily made it retains the prerogatives of the first, but highlights the characters more so. 4) - the last recounts of all ascents conducted by only using the Via Ferrata, built by mountain guides and open to the public since 2004. "Volens aut Nolens" the same is now part and parcel of the history of Mount Emilius and, among other things, has achieved considerable success, to be honest we have not shared. All four sections briefly tell stories of "ab initio" and until June of 2009, the year of the first, unitary and integral publication in SP. All four sections briefly tell stories of "ab initio" and until June of 2009, the year of the first, unitary and integral publication in SP.

and Black Triangle
Non é mai facile ricostruir la storia alpina ed alpinistica, quando interviene l'opera dell'uomo, d'una montagna. Neppur di quelle più famose. Possiam pensare cosa voglia dire per quelle semi o sconosciute del tutto! Diventa la ricerca d'un ago nel pagliaio. Ma con un pò di buona volontà qualcosina di valido si raggiunge, senza pretendere d'avere ottenuto l'Assoluta Perfezione, che non é cosa di questo mondo. Daltronde, come diceva l'Accademico Renato Chabod, é meglio un'opera imperfetta, ma esistente, che una perfetta, tal che forse non vedrà mai la luce. Con codesto spirito abbiamo svolto, nei decenni, una minuziosa opera di ricerca sui libri (pochi, a tal riguardo) e con la testimonianza delle persone (altresì in numero ridotto, ma preziose). Alcuni "vecchi esperti" se ne sono andati per sempre: fra tutti mi piace ricordare "Agostino" Zulian di Luin-Brissogne, da sempre disponibile verso ogni iniziativa ed informazione sulla Sua Montagna; scomparso nel 2012, le sue ceneri aleggiano nel Vallone delle Laures, a lui sì caro. In altre occasioni é stata la passione, coltivata insin dalla prima giovinezza, ad animare questo Amore per la ricerca di fatti, storie e cronache vissute od avvenute, anche disperse lontano nel tempo remoto. In altr'occasioni siamo stati protagonisti. In altre spettatori. Ed in altre ancora affascinati auditori. Ma lo Spirito dell'Emilius troneggia su tutto ed é sufficiente avvicinarsi a questa montagna per coglier l'odore e la fragranza della sua lunga, interminabile e misteriosa storia. Noi, qual umile archeologo del monte, abbiamo tentato a svelarene qualche suo intimo segreto. In questa pagina, aggiuntiva all'altre due precedenti, e tutte e tre le parti facenti insieme d'un'opera vetusta d'ormai quasi quattro anni, tal da richiedere richiede una revisione onde non diventare obsoleta e "pesante", trovasi un poco di tutto e di tutto un pò, certamente il tutto corrisponde alla realtà, o almeno facente parte d'una verità raccontata dai protagonisti. Ovunque rimane, però, la soggettività delle storie, che è sempre qualcosa di molto personale, e spesso non discutibile o senza contradditorio. E 'quindi una
STORIA INFINITA, o quasi,
su realtà, storie, eventi e notizie attorno a questa affascinante montagna, cangiante spesso di nome in più di due secoli di istoria. Ma questo non è che un granellino di sabbia rispetto all'Età Geologica del Monte Emilius, che, come tutte le vecchie signore, nasconde nelle sue rughe. Noi, invece, abbiamo cercato di rimuovere parzialmente il velo, senza la pretesa di rivelarne l '"arcano".
Sperando di farvene contenti! Dall'alto di questa splendida e perfettamente triangolare montagna, che, insieme a quelle del Monte Avic, Mont Delà, Tersiva, Punta Garin, Becca di Nona, Grivola, Gran Nomenon, Punta Bioula, Becca di Tzaboc o della Luetta, Torre del Tighet, Mont Paramont, Berrio Blanc ed in parallelo, ma più in Mezzogiorno, Rosa dei Banchi, Torre di Lavina, Grande e Piccola Arolla, Torre di Sant'Orso, Torre del Gran San Pietro, Punte Patrì, Roccia Viva, Grande Rousse e Grande Sassière e, laggiù in fondo verso la Francia, Grande Assaly, forma una serie quasi infinita di suggestive piramidi susseguentisi a tambur battente ed a perdita d'occhio in questo settore delle Alpi Graie, dominato dalla massa glaciale del Gran Paradiso. Dalla Vetta dell'Emilius tutto scorre davanti agli occhi ammirati dell'alpinista. Ma abbassando lo sguardo ci si accorge, quasi con un fremito d'ansia e di paura, di avere proprio sotto ai piedi un terribile abisso, formato da ripide e scoscese pareti cascanti dabbasso in direzione di selvaggi valloni, segnati dallo scorrer di lucenti torrenti. Verso Settentrione un altro spettacolo immenso si dispiega dallo snodarsi della catena alpina dalle Alpi Graie di Settentrione alle Pennine, dal Monte Bianco ai Combins ed al Cervino, ed, ancora più in là, all'estremo nodo, verso Oriente, della Catena del Monte Rosa. Simultaneamente ritornan alla mente, dapprima sfocate poi sempre più nitidamente, le immagini di tante battaglie disputate, d'episodi osservati e di storie delle quali abbiamo ascoltato il racconto oppur abbiamo letto nel tempo. In un tempo lontano, remoto, quasi non più nostro e per sempre e del tutto insondabile ed inspiegabilmente passato. Inesorabilmente. Un tempo che non ritorna più se non nella memoria o nella fantasia, che qualche vecchia immagine o istantanea ancor riaccende ...
NOTA di IMPOSTAZIONE della PAGINA
Questa pagina fa riferimento alla terza parte del lavoro complessivo (vedi Piano dell'Opera nella prima); in questa ultima, primariamente, consisteva nella seconda ed é stata volontariamente interscambiata con la successiva e quindi rappresenta una nuova scansione delle varie sezioni delle quali si compone il medesimo. Tecnicamente la stessa si divide in quattro sezioni più i "Ringraziamenti", che si ripropongono similari per ognuna delle tre pagine analitiche. 1) - nella prima, subito dopo la rituale "Overview", si trattano tutti gli eventi che concernono, elencandoli cronologicamente, principalmente il Monte Emilius ed evidenziando pochi fatti che riguardano le cime limitrofe. 2) - la successiva ripropone, tramite lo stesso indirizzo, tutto ciò che é successo nel susseguirsi degli Inverni; a stessa però si allarga maggiormente alle cime del circondario, ma pur sempre attinenti al Sottogruppo dell'Emilius. 3) - la terza sezione rivolta a tutto ciò di notevole avvenuto in ascensioni od arrampicate importanti effettuate solitariamente essa mantiene le prerogative della prima, ma evidenzia in modo maggiore i personaggi. 4) - l'ultima racconta di tutte le ascensioni effettuate da soli tramite la Via Ferrata, costruita dalle guide alpine ed aperta al pubblico dal 2004. "Volens aut Nolens" la stessa ormai fa parte integrante della Storia del Monte Emilius e, tra l'altro, ha ottenuto un notevole successo, per la verità da noi non condiviso. Tutte e quattro le sezioni raccontano sinteticamente di storie "ab initio" e fino al Giugno del 2009, anno della prima, unitaria nonché integrale pubblicazione in SP. Rimangono quindi da prendere in considerazione le ultime quattro stagioni, per le quali effettuiamo un caldo invito ai giovani di belle speranze e di, soprattutto, buona volontà ...

(06th): thunderstorm from Three Capuchins Pass to camp in Old Glacier of Mount Emilius bivouac 19.10'/21.30'~ hour; (07th):... Dopo la discesa dall'Emilius un violento temporale ci coglie nella tendina Salewa a due piazze, posta sopra il Lago Gelato sull'Antico Ghiacciaio del Monte Emilius. Si scatena dalle 19.10'~ alle 21.30~ violentissimo e prolungato. Sono molto preoccupato per il bambino e, tra il lampeggiare dei fulmini ed il rombo "cavernoso" dei tuoni, che trovano ottima cassa di risonanza contro le pareti della Punta Rossa e dell'Emilius, faccio fatica a prender sonno. Ore 1'00~: una mano, aperta, dall'esterno mi schiaccia la testa. Sicuramente sto sognando in dormiveglia. Ma il fenomeno si ripete una seconda volta appena più in là nella notte ... Sveglio "Lupetto" che ronfa tranquillo. Lupo Lupo c'é qualcuno! ... Ma và stai sognando, chi vuoi che ci sia a quest'ora quassù! ... Però non passa molto che tocca a lui e salta sù come un grillo ... Mettiamo la frontale e, brandendo piccozza in mano, usciamo a perlustrare. Sarà un camoscio o uno stambecco? Fuori, ha candidamente nevicato. Mezza spanna, e tutto é fermo. Muto, eternamente immobile. Anche lo scuro e basso cielo pare sospeso. Com'anche i neri nuvoloni, ancora minacciosi. Ma fermi. Nulla muove e non c'é traccia neppure di un'uccellino. Torniamo a dormire, si fa per dire. Con l'alba tutto scompare e partiamo per la traversata delle Punte Rosse dal Col d'Arbole a quello des Laures. Nel tempo tutto s'eclissa nella memoria dei meandri del cervello ... e nei meandri della memoria ... Ma anni dopo, raccontando l'accaduto in uno studio ad un amico ... un vecchietto, quei piccoli vecchietti valdostani con la faccia scolpita in cartapesta. Meglio in pietra. Ascoltante in silenzio, quasi di vetro, come il suo abito grigio con camicia linda e senza cravatta e il tondo cappello da '800 alle ciglia. Tipo "scarpe grosse e cervello fino". Segue e ascolta. Poi, a sorpresa, e imprevedibilmente, si muove dal torpore sulla sua sedia ed esclama. Ma non é un'esclamazione, é quasi una sentenza. Accentuata da quell'antica cantilena valdostana mischiata a tre idiomi (Provenzal Patois, Francese ed Italiano), quasi per timore di non esser inteso ... Mahhh ..., ggniente di strano. Ren d'étrange. Ce sont les Revenents, ceux qui reviennent; sellì vicino é avvenuta una morte tragica ou violente ... Il loro Spirito n'a pas de paix ... Leurs Esprits non hanno pace" ... Il 25 Agosto del 1929, a meno di 420 m~ in linea d'aria dalla nostra tenda, la cordata dei fratelli "Dino" e Jean Charrey e di Cino Norat precipitava dalla parete Est, a poco dalla vetta. (Tutti e tre appena ventenni ...) ..." Hours 01.00'~/03.00'~ unidentifiable hand's palpations (three) from external of Salewa camp: REVENENTS!!! ... (Old Glacier haunted for RETURN'S GHOST???. To call to account). After a long time, in an friend's architectural study, a little "rustic valdotain" old man Villeneuve's Village, a strange guy "country folk may have big boots but they've got sharp wits". Silent and quiet, like his grey working chlotes. Wrinkled such as his hat peasant of the nineteenth-century. Then the long silence, to my great surprise and unexpectedly, from its chair the sentence/saying ... mixing three languages, by ancient "valdotain" singsong, (Patois Provencal, French and Italian) for certainty of the my comprehension ... : ... Rien d'étrange! Dans un lieu ou il y a eut une mort violent, les Esprits, non rasseignés, peuvent encore se manifester" ... In local customs in place close by of tragedy Spirits those presents! ... "On August 25th, 1929 accident in East Face Emilius's in try first ascent of Wall, a long way 420 meters~ from my camp: dead the Brothers "Dino" and Jean Charrey, with Cino Norat.
