Many snow  Sucess!

Many snow in the couloir. Not so steep the exit on the ridge. No cornice. We climbed on the left side of the couloir (easier)

Soft snow  Sucess!

The couloir was in easy conditions: very soft snow and deep footprints. Only a short stretch required a steep but short mixed passage. The final steep slope (about 50°), often on hard snow, was a relatively easy stair-climb on mellow snow.

The snow, on the northern side, despite of the high temperatures was hard and icy. The conditions on the north side seemed good: here a pic of 1° Maggio couloir

Here a short video of the climb:
Su e giù per il Terminillo
