"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Normal routeI ascended the peak from the hut Dos dei Cembri. Though it was August, the temperature was only 4 Celsius degree on the peak. There was stormy wind and I could enjoy some frozen rain. But most of the hiking was pleasant

Easy traverseWe ascended from the Brancahütte, and took our time doing so, because the previous day had been a rather long one.
After relaxing and enjoying the views on the western summit for quite a while, we didn't stay long on the true, eastern summit before descending to the nearby refuge, where we spent the night.

From Casati hutWe did the first day of the famous "13-summit-trip" from Casati hut to Cevedale, Pallon della Mare and finally Monte Vioz. As in 2003 most of the snow on the glaciers had already melted and where it remained it was dangerous because the bridges over the crevasses wer not stable enough. We slept at Mantova di Vioz hut (very recommendable) and climbed the minor summit of Monte Vioz (3631m) the other day before descending on Forno glacier to Branca hut. Very impressive glacier landscape - among the finest of the Eastern Alps!

Route Climbed: Doss dei Cembri - Rifugio Mantovia - Vioz Date Climbed: Aug 27th 2003Very easy climb but very crowded as it was one of the last days of the italian holiday season. Lots of families with kids but most made it to the top. From up there you have a perfect view of the Ortler/Cevedale- Adamello/Presanella- and Brenta Groups. As it was rather hot you could see and hear the glaciers crumbling before your eyes.
