How To Treat White Leather Sofa

Antelao - via normal

04/24/2010

Appetite comes with eating, they say, vicious and greedy we are never satisfied in this wonderful season snowalpinistica.
The idea begins to glimpse into the head on Sunday morning to return from Tofana of the way, when you look at our shows we watch him, study, assess the snow conditions and after a short "mmmmm" of mock hesitation issued the verdict in unison: "Why not?"
said than done, Antelaoooo aspettaciii!

Antelao, Re, as seen from the Tofana Rozes

The formula is now tested which provides a share in overnight to soften the hard work and so, after the auspicious ceremony of pasta / pizza, me, Rudy and newcomer Marco, who Corvara aside for a memorable last second, we go up the track bundling at all points / road to the ref. Scotter.
The evening is not optimal in terms of weather ruin a climb slightly, however, and after a few pleasant digressions in that of ref. San Marco at 23:30 we cross the door of the winter camp of Galassi.
The next day was full of doubts, the clouds at night have not ensured an optimum freezing and our split 6 to break through the thin crust already Forcella Piccola.
East purple dawn there sorprende quando stiamo per affrontare il vant sotto la Bala rinfrancandoci gli animi, è uno spettacolo.

noi seguiremo, sia all'andata che al ritorno, la traccia rossa (verde=variante)

Il traverso ed il canalino sono una mazzata con le split sul groppone, ma quello che ci attende quando sbuchiamo sulle Laste ripaga di tutte le fatiche.

The latest reversals have a concentration of effort and emotion, the Biv So there is protected by his winter clothes, a few words out of our mouths inhibits the fear of the banal, I lose a FANTASTIC, Rudy and Mark's most nod with eyes than the head.

Tofana Middle - West wall is


04/17/2010 The first thing I would say is "finally"
was in 2004 that I had in mind this route, since I'd admired for the first time since Tofana of Rozes.
Since then I began to seek information and advice about this journey without finding anyone who had done ... and this has done nothing but increase in me interest and curiosity.

Finally there are the conditions right for groped. By Daniel and James
we left last night at a time of the bivouac Cantore we have achieved in the late evening and found it well protected by a thick blanket of snow.

climb to camp Cantore, with a few flakes of snow

A quarter of an hour of work with the shovel and we finally get to 23.30 and midnight, still fully dressed (with a lot of shoes boots ) attempt a nap under 5 indoor comfort that allows us to bear.

James in search of the second latch input

Today we start to tip towards Forcella Vallon Giovannina but the fight with the previous sleep is very hard.
When we reach the fork we allow ourselves a brief stop to admire the landscape and to arm ourselves with ice ax, which is useful for addressing the central beam that will take us to the slopes of the basin and the Middle Tofana Tofana di Dentro.

uphill towards the basin

Here begins the route facilities, leading to the summit of Middle Tofana, and we will mark the right way, which will follow in the first track from Daniel at a steady pace and inexorable.

almost at the top, can be glimpsed behind our canyon

The summit is an exciting time .... We sit speechless, exhausted, surrounded by a landscape without equal. The route followed
uphill has enabled us to leave untouched the chute that drops straight to the west (toward the valley Travenanzes) that you are now reading veiling clouds so that accentuate the thrill of skiing. The party suffered steep
channel and nice powdery snow on a hard surface that enables beautiful series curves.
The descent intersects the track of our salita per continuare nel ripido e suggestivo vallone dove la neve peggiora di qualità per i residui di vecchie valanghe.

fine delle danze... si comincia a pensare alla calata

Raggiungiamo il tratto più preoccupante della discesa dove si impone una calata in corda doppia per saltare una barra rocciosa. La ricerca di una sosta esistente risulta vana e l’ironia della sorte vuole che i nostri 4 chiodi e 1 vite da ghiaccio siano inutili a risolvere l’enigma…. riusciremo ad inventarci un artigianale clessidra scavata a mano tra due grossi massi per attrezzare la prima calata e servirà una successiva piccola clessidra naturale per la seconda calata di una decina di mt (visto che abseil from the 30m is not enough snow to accumulate on the fan below .... which can have varying heights depending on the snow and avalanche deposits of the season)

second and final descent

Now we just have to go back to the ref. Giussani where she awaits the exciting descent on a firn perfect, until the ref. Dibona, who despite his legs destroyed manage to go to the ball.

One of the best routes ever made in my life and I think he found the satisfaction of my trip-mates Daniel and James

Gradient ascent gradient descent = = 1750mt

Shampoos With Out Laurel

Travignolo



11/04/2010 How good would the Meda: Travignolo C'E '!
had to be somewhere else but in the end as the bear attracted by the honey we had to take the last step bends of Rolle. 8.30
is part fairy-tale cottage is Segantini as in the famous picture that shows her and behind it the sinuous line of new love to tame and conquer.

and here he is way Travignolo

The rise is, as always, in silence and now, if ever there was a possibility, it is even more, every break is good for throwing at a glance 'upward to quell'insellatura the end of a gut that seen from a distance and the front looks like a white wall impassable.
50 meters. the bottleneck change of attitude, split on his shoulder, crampons and ice ax in hand, allow us a fast progression aided by easy track of who came before us, 40, 30, 20, 10 ... step Travignolooo!
A strange game of clouds in the sun leaves little space, you can watch it with the naked eye as you do with the filters during the eclipse of the sun is veiled, it seems sick, then suddenly the theater as a bull's eye lights up the scene, our range "sparks" and for a short distance is the only lit area nearby, we are extras in this wonderful show.
refreshes us al sole, poi meccanicamente iniziamo i preparativi per la discesa.
Assembliamo le split gettando ogni tanto con finta noncuranza uno sguardo allo scivolo che ci attende, mette un po' di soggezione ma oggi ho sensazioni positive.
Parte Rudy, esita un po', con lo sguardo cerca la neve migliore, è in stallo, infine il movimento è quello giusto, quello “del non ritorno” e inizia la danza.
Lo seguo con lo sguardo fino al suo arresto mi fa ok con il pollice, mi abbasso la maschera e senza esitare lo raggiungo con un sorriso a 32 denti.

l'ostico backside sul ripido canale iniziale

quando arriviamo alla strettoia, tra le due soluzioni possibili, scegliamo di scendere a dx orografica e con calata in corda doppia, di pochi mt su sosta già attrezzata, siamo in breve depositati sui pendii sottostanti... ben più dolci


Non facciamo nemmeno in tempo a metabolizzare l'emozionante discesa che ci ritroviamo di nuovo alla Baita Segantini, avvolta in una fiabesca tormenta di neve


...e nella tormenta, anche questa splendida discesa, sembra un lontano ricordo

Yamaha Htr 5740 Review

Bus Tofana and Tofana Rozes of ... Punta attempt

03-04-2010
Oggi gran bella giornata di neve polverosa con Daniele e Michele.
Peccato che a mezzogiorno, come da previsioni, le nuvole si to be fierce on Tofana Rozes and have created visibility problems to make us blur the summit.
Let's start with the first cable car Cortina, before heading for the bus to the surprise of arsenic that are no traces.

our track climb

dutiful contemplation of the landscape

So begins the short but strenuous climb to the bus, about 40cm of fresh snow.
In the stretch where the descent begins walking toward the bus itself, a striking accumulation has imposed the direct access, far more steeply, with some projecting rock, which quickly allowed us to reach heaven.

tratto delicato alla partenza

Inizia così una bella serie di gran bei curvoni su bella polvere con qualche residuo di vecchia valanga.


fasi della discesa di Michele e Daniele

A circa 2500mt di quota tiriamo un veloce traverso dirigendoci verso il rif. Giussani e, prima di raggiungerlo, ci fermiamo e ci prepariamo per la salita verso la tofana di Rozes che per fortuna presenta già una traccia di salita.

Michele in salita

Il sole picchia duro e la salita si fa sentire; procediamo a passo discreto ma at an altitude of 2900mt the clouds come, first reading then more and more dense. At an altitude of 3070mt
on the north side, no longer able to proceed with the skins but you have to carry crampons ... We also note that those who came before us rose to the top with crampons and fell back with them and so we sense that the descent would not be so profitable.

150 meters in altitude separate us from the summit nearly swallowed by the clouds

So the hard snow and dense clouds suggest that we turn around, and so began our descent on snow beautiful .... although not as fast as we would like to cause poor visibility.
Once in the vicinity of the ruins of Cantore camp we descend into the valley of the cable car which improves visibility and allows us to speed the descent with great excitement, then up to the ref. Dibona where we expect a good cup of coffee and a strudel "so so".
