Piccolo Mangart

Piccolo Mangart

Diedro Cozzolino in trio with Daniel and David. Daniel took all the risk of lead. It was a hard work for him. A very alpine adventure! 2015 July

Re: Bravo Istvan!

Thanks Vid, yes it was maybe a hard choice, but thanks to my friend Daniel we came safe back.
He was forced to climb continously grade V+ without any protection...

Re: Bravo !

Thank you Borut, it is a really looong and unprotected route, in addition with an also very long descent over the whole Mangart ridge.The ferrata Via della Vita was closed at that time.

Re: Bravo !

Istvan, have you heard about the legendary 1983 winter solo ascent of this route by the non less legendary Renato Casarotto? It took him ten days (very bad weather, constantly snowing)! I can just imagine him chewing at his shoelaces by the ninth night LOL

Re: Bravo !

Re: Congrats!

Molto grazie, yes it remains an unforgetable experience. I must reply my respect to Daniel who took all the risk of unprotected free climb.
Ciao
