"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

LostClimbed from Col de Vizzavona along the north ridge. High up on the ridge we met an Austrian who directed us to a path (much easier) which led us to the east of Punta dell'Oriente and ended up on a side summit 30m beneath the main one. Returned along the east ridge and headed up to the summit block just in time for the clouds to obscure everything.
