Mount Alps

Group decimated for this sunny, but windy, Sunday in January. To settle the direct troops on Mount Alps are Tutino, Domenico Di Domenico and leave Miraglia, absent Domenico Cantisani ( 'or Blonde) for the purpose of study, plus Henry and Fabio to form the trio of distinguished absent. It starts at the foot the massive mountain resort in the Alps Footer, 1070 meters, and immediately we head into a canyon, sometimes snow on the ground. Subentriamo successvamente in a forest, also snow, which finished us a break based blood of the area. There are no words to describe the view from here: to see the entire valley that extends to the foot of the massive Sirino is almost the feeling of being behind the window of an airplane to look from a vast portion of territory. But there is not much time to look around, so immediately you again, and, under the influence of dopante pudding, is imprinted suffered a rapid pace to climb, which henceforth will present more of the obstacle strong gusts wind, whose speed, estimated at sentiment from Tutino, would be around the 70-75 km / h. In the wisdom of Tutino, is not indifferent wind action today, so every step costs us twice, if not three times, fatigue. Come after about two and a half hours after departure on the summit, 1903 meters, the wind here is stronger, only sin we forgot to film the exciting moment of the summit, almost seems the k2, between wind and snow. We are forced to pause little, the time of some hasty photo on the ridge east, a little more protected, and then straight down into the wood that gives us the right protection from the wind. A new path, then that needs to be rebuilt as soon as combines the beauty of the landscape and amenicità limestone rocks where he dwells pine loricato, with the difficulty Altitude and the evocative presence of ice and wind, to make still our most heroic effort.
