This exhibition of photos of the proposed action, starting clockwise from "Crest of the Three Capuchins" universally known as the Normal Route, a little "taste" of all the ridges and walls topographically belonging to the Mount Emilius. Fairly regular pyramid with four ridges and the same faces is abnormal in its structure, such as the Black Triangle, large vertical wall and rocky, going to "stick" between the North and East Walls (sui generis of the Great Angle Pillar into Wall Brenva to Mount Blanc), while in the East and South ridges are linear, sudden or steep (the North-northeast Edge or "Crest of the Three Curates", which represents the margin East of the Triangle.) in the West down the long West Ridge (now well known since 2004 and popular "Via Ferrata") which, after the Little Emilius is directed, almost in a straight line, the Red Mount of Comboé, mighty big shoulder with three faces: one to the North of the great Northern Wall of Emilius conclusive and another steep and rocky , between the Carrel Hill and Ròss Pass, falling over reddish moraines overlying the Valé's Tableland and the path alleging Federigo Zullo Bivouac (existing since 1984). A third is made ​​up of a South side is not too steep coming down with a rock band mixed with moraine above the "Ponds of Boulders" in the West (as well as me baptized for the gigantic boulders that "float" in the narrow waters), the largest Frozen Lake. From the Mount Ross of Comboé the West Ridge splits: one branch goes Northwest to the Federigo Bivouac Carrel then get up to the Hill to form the Becca of Nona, dividing the wild Vallon of Arpisson from the high of Comboé/Plan Valé, while the second is facing in the opposite direction, ie to the South-southwest, and, after the Ròss Pass, stretches into the Vallon and the Refuge Arbolle. We'll call it, then, Buttress S-SW, the street gets up first to form the Points of the Frozen Loch, a second pass, in practice never crossed except by hunters, said Col de Comboé and finally a trident rocky said, in fact, Trident of Comboé. This long (endless if followed to the Emilius) and jagged ridge is dividing between the Walloons and the Comboé to Arbolle, up to the highest part of this last. The walls are facing South and Southwest with a gentle slope from the "Crest of the Three Capuchins" gradually sweeps westward, doubling in two faces at a large rocky outcrop that rises up to the West Ridge, near a characteristic gray wall. That's right, most facing South, it is easier and ground, at least in the medium to high crisscrossed by a large snowy rocky couloir, which ends on a steep rocky beam to form the plinth base. The left one is shaped by a complex rock salt in which a small gully with rocky soil and is easily identifiable for a long vein of white quartz (Via Giuseppe Corona of 1875).
 
 
S-SE Crest, W-SW Face, NW Ridge, N Wall, E-NE Edge above Arbolle, Comboé & Arpisson Vallons, by Emilio Bertona.
 
Formed the Mont Ròss, North precipitates a high Wall up to 680 meters wide and over a kilometer, with a spur-shaped big udder, which is outlined in the lower split the two Glaciers Western and Eastern over the Arpisson's Walloon, of the same name, at its Eastern end stands the imposing dark Black Triangle with its 400 meters of vertical rock culminating at the top with a big "cannon" cantilever of about ten meters. This "predicts" the great leap vertical wall of the East, more than 500 meters above the Glacier of Blantsette into Vallon of The Laures. Its margin-left is the East Ridge, after a rocky promontory on which has been placed a cross, called the Charrey, in memory of the misfortune of '29 on the East, and steep climbs fairly easy coming a few steps South of the Peak . This ridge is also know as "Crest of Brissogne" as it is the normal route for the residents of this town. Between this and the "Crest of the Three Capuchin" high salt, regular and triangular wall above the tiny Icy Lake and in the direction Lake Dessus or Upper of the Laures, also called "Lac Dzacquin", crossed in the middle by several rocky channels at its base stands an imposing bastion of rock band entirely, constituting the difficult entrance door to it, consists of two parts with a slope completely different. This mini roundup-summary roundup of various Authors, may be useful in forming an idea of ​​the topographical conformation, as well as in the composition of climbing routes, keeping in mind that the fundamentals are in fact 10 Routes (See First Part of 33 ROUTES), to which we have wanted to add 2 more, having material available, meaning the South Slope and the South-southwest Buttress. For a more detailed and comprehensive view of the same refer to individual pages edited in SP, possibly using the General Framework of the Opera, here above, to constitute a valid, but not full account track.
 
 
Northern Walls from left or East: Black Triangle, Mount Emilius and Little Emilius from Becca of Nona (3.142m), by Osw
*******
 
Quest'esposizione di foto di azione propone, partendo in senso orario dalla "Cresta dei Tre Cappuccini" universalmente conosciuta come Via Normale, un piccolo "assaggio" di tutte le creste e le pareti topograficamente appartenenti al Monte Emilius. Piramide abbastanza regolare con quattro creste ed altrettante facce presenta delle anomalie nella sua struttura, come il Triangolo Nero, grande parete verticale e rocciosa, che va ad "incollarsi" tra le Pareti Nord ed Est (sui generis del Grand Pilier d'Angle sulla Parete della Brenva al Monte Bianco); mentre ad Oriente ed a Mezzogiorno le creste sono lineari, repentine o ripide (lo Spigolo Nord-nordest o "Cresta dei Tre Curati", che costituisce il margine Est del Triangolo). Ad Occidente scende la lunga Cresta Ovest (attualmente dal 2004 molto conosciuta e frequentata "Via Ferrata") che, dopo il Piccolo Emilius si indirizza, quasi in rettilineo, al Mont Ròss de Comboé, poderosa Spallone con tre facce: una verso Settentrione conclusiva della grande Parete Nord dell'Emilius ed un'altra ripida e rocciosa, compresa tra il Colle Carrel ed il Col Ròss, cascante sopra le rossicce morene soprastanti il Pian di Valé ed il sentiero adducente al Bivacco Federigo Zullo (esiste dal 1984). Una terza é costituita da un versante Meridionale non troppo ripido che cala, con una fascia rocciosa frammista a morena, sopra i "Laghetti dei Macigni" (così da me battezzati per i ciclopici massi che "galleggiano" nelle ristrette acque) ad Ovest del più grande Lago Gelato. Dal Mont Ròss di Comboé la Cresta Ovest si sdoppia: un ramo discende a Nordovest verso il Bivacco Federigo al Colle Carrel per poi rialzarsi a formare la Becca di Nona, divisorio il selvaggio Vallone dell' Arpisson da quello alto di Comboé/Plan Valé; il secondo invece é rivolto in direzione opposta, ovvero a Sud-sudovest, e, dopo il Col Ròss, s'allunga verso il Vallone ed il Rifugio di Arbolle. Lo denomineremo, quindi, Contrafforte S-SW; per istrada si rialza dapprima a formare le Punte del Lago Gelato, un secondo valico, in pratica mai attraversato se non da cacciatori, detto Col de Comboé ed infine un tridente roccioso, detto, appunto, Trident de Comboé. Questa lunga (interminabile se percorsa sino all'Emilius) e frastagliata cresta é divisoria tra i Valloni del Comboé e quello di Arbolle, fino alla parte più elevata di questo ultimo. Le pareti sono rivolte a Sud e Sudovest con un versante che dalla "Cresta dei Tre Cappuccini" digrada progressivamente verso Ovest, sdoppiandosi in due facce presso un grande sperone roccioso risalente fino alla Cresta Ovest, nei pressi di un caratteristico muro grigio. Quella di destra, maggiormente rivolta verso Sud, é più facile e frantumata, almeno nella parte medio alta, solcata da un grande canale roccioso-nevoso, che termina sopra un ripido fascio roccioso tale da formar lo zoccolo di base. Quella di sinistra é costutuita da una complessa parete rocciosa all'interno della quale sale un esiguo canalino roccioso con terriccio ed é facilmente individuabile per una lunga vena di quarzo bianco (Via Giuseppe Corona del 1875).
 
 
N-NE Edge, E Wall, E Crest, SE Face, S-SE Crest over Dessous, Long & Dessus Lakes in Les Laures Vallon, by Osw.
 
 
Formato il Mont Ròss, a Nord precipita una muraglia alta fino a 680 metri e larga oltre un Km., con uno sperone a forma di grande mammella, che si delinea in basso a dividere i due Ghiacciaietti Ovest ed Est dell'Arpisson sopra l'omonimo vallone; alla sua estremità Orientale si erge imponente lo scuro Triangolo Nero con i suoi 400 metri di roccia verticale culminanti in vetta con un grande "cannone" a sbalzo d'una decina di metri. Questo "preannuncia" il grande salto della verticale Parete Est, di oltre 500 metri sopra il Ghiacciaio di Blantsette nel Vallone delle Laures. Il suo margine di sinistra costituisce la Cresta Est che, dopo un promontorio roccioso sul quale é stata posita una croce, detta dei Charrey, a ricordo della disgrazia del '29 sulla Est, sale abbastanza facile e ripida arrivando a qualche passo a Sud della Vetta. Questa cresta é inoltre conosciuta come "Cresta di Brissogne", poiché costituisce la Via Normale per gli abitanti di questo comune. Tra questa e la "Cresta dei Tre Cappuccini" s'eleva un'alta, regolare e triangolare parete sopra il minuscolo Lago Ghiacciato ed in direzione del Lago Dessus des Laures, detto anche "Lac Dzacquin", solcata nel mezzo da diversi canali rocciosi; alla sua base si erge un'imponente bastione roccioso che la fascia interamente, costituendo la difficile porta di ingresso alla medesima, formata da due parti con pendenza completamente diversa. Questa mini carrellata fotografica, di varii Autori, può essere di utilità nel formare un'idea della conformazione topografica, nonché nella composizione delle vie di salita, tenendo presente che le Vie Fondamentali sono in effetti 10 (Vedi Prima parte di 33 ROUTES), alle quali ne abbiamo voluto aggiungere altre 2, avendo materiale a disposizione; ovvero il Versante Sud e il Contrafforte Sud-sudovest. Per una più dettagliata ed esaustiva visione delle medesime rimandiamo alle singole pagine editate in SP, eventualmente utilizzando il Quadro Generale dell'Opera, qui sopra esposto, tale da costituire una valida, ma non completa traccia.
