| mulidivarese | Route Climbed: Normal from Indren Date Climbed: 4th July 2004 | |
| Nice one-day climbing from the normal route in a sunny day. We ( Valerio, Paolo, Luigi) reached Punta Indren by cable-car than in 40min we arrived to the top of the short rocky route to the Rifugio Gnifetti. Once connected together we follow the clear path in direction of the Colle Gnifetti. Before to reach the pass we decided to turn right and up and with a more direct way the summit was reached. From Punta Indren 2:30 min. Nice view from the top. It was the celybate-celebration for Paolo that married Anita one week later. Congratulation | |

| Samuli Mansikka | Route Climbed: Cresta del Soldato Date Climbed: June 22th 2005 | |
| After topping the Piramide Vincent earlier in the morning by the normal route we descended the South-West flank to Punta Giordani. From there Tuomas wanted to do a couloir climb on the flank and I wanted to do the Cresta del Soldato. So we soloed the personally preferred routes. Cresta del Soldato was beautiful! Rock was really good and sound and the route was easy to follow. The exposure was pretty wild occasionally. | |

| Velebit | Route Climbed: from Rif. Gnifetti Date Climbed: August 13th 2003 | |
| It was beautiful afternoon climb after reaching Rif. Gnifetti. Sunny weather with cumulus clouds for decoration. On the Lys glacier there are many exposed crevasses due to the lack of snow. Some are over 30m deep and we walked over narrow snowy bridges to cross them, very exciting stuff. But since weather was warm and bridges soft we had to secure each other on some of the more exposed crosses. Just two days after Piz Bernina I had very tired legs so summit pyramid wasn't very enjoyable. View from the summit was fantastic as I watched Mont Blanc in the distance, on the same date we climbed it last year. Both on the way up and down we witnessed some amazing rock falls, especially on Lyskamm! Also while we were standing on the summit there was thundering rock fall down the south face of Parrot Spitze. Imagine tons of rock falling down the 800m high face. | |

| Mathias Zehring | Route Climbed: SE ridge from P. Giordani Date Climbed: July 30th 2003 | |
| It is amazing: hundreds of people are walking up the glacier from Rif. Gnifetti in the morning. No one execpt us three climbed Punta Giordani (4046 m, it is the E-shoulder of Pir. Vincent and sometimes - falsely - considered to be an own summit). We climbed the SW ridge of Pir.Vincent up to 3800 m, crossed the flank (some loose rocks) down to Indren glacier and on that with crampons we climbed P. Giordani. The ridge from there to Pir. Vincent was more difficult than described, some parts are surely UIAA III and we had to belay. So I would rate this at least with G4 at the Munter scale. | |

| We started from the highest parking lot of Gressoney valley with heavy backpacks. Camped approx. at 2700m. Next day we had a bad weather so decided to stay at Mantova hut. On the third day we estabilished a camp next the rock above Gnifetti hut, and climbed Vincent. Due to the lack of training, and the altitude I sufferded from AMS, so finally this summit was the only achivement of our plans to climb some 4000s in the area. | |
