da dove sei salito ?dall'A.Lareccio (campliccioli) o da vanzone ?

Campliccioli...260 Km in macchina e 1400 metri di dislivello sono sufficienti per un giorno solo, da Vanzone una volta a Maggio sono salito fino a 2000 metri, ma dalla Vall'Anzasca è davvero lunghissima, comunque c'è parecchia gente (relativamente alla frequentazione della montagna in questione) che sale da lì.

Ballissima ...That is a very holy and true engineering marvel! Words do not describe this wonderful
foto!! I have no further question.

Re: Ballissima ...Ciao Larry, think that this cross has been posed on the summit at the beginning of 1900. I guess the inhabitants of the villages below used mules and their legs to take the various parts on the summit 2000 meters above. They must have been really devoted to Saint Martin!

Re: Bellissima ...Yes, I believe that is the case. I wish we
could all GO BACK into TIME to the early 1900s!
That was the AGE of some remarkable engineering
achievements, when you had the designers and
laborers all working together to get the job
done, and not COMPLAINING about the
environment or conditions they had to sweat
and toil in, just to earn a meager living
for their families. And, they were able to
have FUN while they were doing it. Grande!!!

Re: Bellissima ...I fullly agree with you Larry. Your comment made me thought about Riccardo Cassin, probably the thoughest italian mountaineer. He won the hardest walls of the Alps during the 30's of the last century while he had to work hard in a factory to earn the day for him and his family. He used to go under the wall he had to climb and state "It's surely possible", after that it was just a question of time and he was on the top. Just the time of a week end to write a page of the history of climbing and then back to work. I guess that today we simply lack something that people had in the past, maybe the strenght of "doing" without wondering and complaining too much, but it's also true that things have became more complicated.

Re: Bellissima ...Yes, the demands and pressures of Society
are very much greater now. Excuse me please,
I need to study more European history.

Re: Bellissima ...Larry you don't have to excuse!
At least is my bad english that should ask for excuses...
I was just exposing one of my thoughts... I often ask to myself if I am a worst man than my father or my grandfather.
I often find a simplicity(in the best sense of the word) in older people that I think is a kind of extra-strenght against the little and big difficulties of everyday life.
Further more I don't think that for the points we were talking about Europe and USA histories are much different... For some things I think that the Western world has grown together for the last thirty years.
You are always welcome my friend!
