Re: Spettacolare!

Grazie Rob, sei gentile, il fattoè che sull'Appennino ci sono spesso condizioni particolari che facilitano la formazione di queste spettacolari lame di ghiaccio...
Grazie e buona serata.

Breathtaking!

Davvero mi prende il fiato, quest'immagine...ma come deve aver stato freddissimo lassù...!!!

Re: Breathtaking!

...it was very cold, but as i've write to Roberto the ice's blades you can see over the summit cross forms with particular conditions (cold, wind and dampness) we often can see on Appennino...a sort of local micro-climate.
Grazie mille Eric e salutoni.

Cool!

I love seeing pictures of this stuff. Don't think I've ever seen it so thick. I've ran into conditions like this before in the Sangre de Cristo Montains here in Colorado. We call it Rime Ice. It forced us to cancel our climb. Nice dogs too!!! :o)
Good shot. Thx for posting!

molto bene

I think that's the first time since 2008 that a new photo makes it onto the first page of the Rime & Frost album!

Dogs or ponies?

Silvia,

I think you could saddle up those dogs and ride them to the summit like horses!

Great photo - your smiling face tells me you are having a wonderful time. :)

Re: Dogs or ponies?

...very very strong dogs and a sensational day...it's not so easy to see Marmagna summit cross in those conditions.
Thank you Sarah and good evening to you!
