Celebration of the Laying of 125 °
plaque in honor of Molteni and Valsecchi
73 years after the tragedy of Molteni and Valsecchi, the two young climbers Como, partners CAO, who died after climbing to the summit (the top) to the northeast wall of the shovel, the CAO returns and celebrates its 125th anniversary of its foundation, with the laying of a plaque in memory.
The desire to celebrate the 125th year and the memory of two young and unfortunate mountaineers of the CAO, has led to the decision months ago to climb to the summit to lay a plaque. And here starts the machine: the President has Erio made to the plate and the mountaineering group, led Dall'Antonia, organized the climb and pose.
So we found ourselves in 10 climb to the normal to the shovel, so simple as in the northeast, but not easy in relation to other normal ... ..
Saturday departure and climb to the Rifugio Gianetti in the wild and beautiful valley Porcellizzo: ascent made difficult by the very hot ... even if mitigated by frequent falls and streams (which show the waterfalls of the valley is filled with water from the snowy peaks and rain!). ... A group of latecomers. was unable to avoid the night time ... never mind, rose to cool!
haven, excellent dinner, bed early!
The next day, starting at 6 to the normal to the shovel, a beautiful rock route II and III degree. Shortly before we roped in the Marcellus has slipped in the snow .... small fall, some excoriation It seemed all in the past, began to rise much breath, then ricrederà !
3 chords and 2 a bit faster 'slower ... but we were all at the top, placed the plate, admiring the beautiful landscape made by the weather. We then made contact by telephone with the group of hikers through the Piz Nair President Erio: plate is placed, you can go! (If not ... ..?)
The descent was long .... we were 6 or 10 and do 7 It took double the time, maybe too much, but the clear skies and mild temperatures have led us to a certain looseness that ... sometimes it does not hurt! (Did not have some punch cards!).
At the end we went, late, but satisfied with what has been done: an indelible mark on the CAO on one of the most prestigious peaks, the memory just to honor the two climbers, a lovely ... ascent. Even if the poor Marcello has noticed some pain in the hand caused by the fall in the morning. ... Pain that turned then to the hospital, in the certainty of a compound fracture!
He goes all our sympathy for the misfortune to fall and for completed the task in spite of some pain in my hand ....
