Route Climbed: Normal from Chabod hut Date Climbed: 30 August 2004
Together with my brother. Very nice, sunny, but cold weather. Lucky enough we were one of the first groups at the top, because it can get crowded. Returned also by the Chabod hut, much more convenient, glacier and path, then along the other hut (Vit.Em.).
Route Climbed: Normal route from Vittorio Emanuele Hut Date Climbed: 06 july 2003
Our first 4000. With my wife and 13 years old son we started at 6 am from a tent just above the hut. Reached the summit at 13.30 in excellent weather. We were the last team this day, alone at the top.
Route Climbed: Normal route from Rif. Vittorio Emanuele Date Climbed: september 1984 and august 1992
Of the first time I climbed the mountain I remember the crowd, on the trail and on the few rock steps. Luckily, the second time I was there it was after a storm, so there were very few people attempting the mountain in the cold conditions and fresh snow. The view was very nice, exteding towards Monviso and Argentera. In the second climb, in the night I thought I had lost the path, since I remembered the glacier starting just after the moraine: I was shocked in seeing how much it had retired in only a few years.

Route Climbed: Normal Date Climbed: October, 2nd 2004The so-called normal is not so normal! Now it is better to avoid "Schiena d'Asino" glacier and walk alongside left border of the valley.
Very hard ice! 6 hrs from Vittorio Emanuele hut to the top ...
*ALL* pages on this mountain are to be re-written!
Ciao.
