"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Acclimatisation summitUsed this peak as an acclimatisation climb before heading up to Monterosa, but it was probably the finest summit of the trip. Definitely worth a visit. Camped at Lago Bianco on the Vallone del Rissuolo route and had the summit to ourselves.

normalVery long journey from Cà di Lanzo and the Vallone di Rissuolo. Descent along the Vallone del Forno. No paths. Very bad idea!
5 hours for up, 4 hours for down
