, bent in ahead from the weight of its snowy "summital" hood. Also her "Becca" it counted "Her" wrinkles merciless to advance him covering her with a greenish blanket that, in appearance, it hid the folds of it. But with the arrival in the Spring everything revives: her "Pecks" it shakes him from The sets the blanket of snows with small snowslided shrugs toward the Comboé and he returns to be coquettish; the Emilius, his has cooled down, throws its heavy beret on th'and straightens the crest from great rooster, gentleman of its four valleys. And the endless merry-go-round leaves again.
See the two, would seem never. Him continuous to do the offended one, I toast as a boulder, and she pretends to not care looking at the North pano.
Ed alla fin d'ogni inverno l'Emilius si ritrovò più vecchio ed antico, ingobbito in avanti dal peso del suo sommital cappuccio nevoso. Anche la "Becca" contava le sue rughe impietose calzarsi cogl'anni ricoprendole con una coltre verdastra che, in apparenza, ne nascondeva le pieghe. Ma con l'arrivo della Primavera tutto rinasce: la "Becca" si scrolla d'addosso le coltri nevose con "spallette & spalluccie" di slavine verso il Comboé e ritorna ad esser civettuola; l'Emilius, la sua "rabbia" é sbollita, getta il suo lordo berretto sull'Arpisson, raddrizzando la cresta da gran gallo, signore delle sue quattro vallate. E la giostra infinita riparte.
E quand'è che finirà sto' giuochino? Sembrerebbe, per i due, mai e poi mai. L'uno, fermo come un macigno, fa la parte dell'offeso guardando altrove indispettito; l'altra finge di fregarsene gustandosi il Panorama a Settentrione.

Besides I tell you of a mystery that is not a tale: we have in the years ascertained to the dusk particular episodes, as, from the Book of the Federigo Bivouac, they confirm mountain climber of Alexandria: "… to the evening from the Emilius strange lights and noises ... ". But of this and of other done strange in the area of the Emilius Mountain we will tell next time you, or, if you have patience, something already gimmicks in

After a long time, in an friend's architectural study, a little "rustic valdotain" old man Villeneuve's Village, a strange guy "country folk may have big boots but they've got sharp wits". Silent and quiet, like his grey working chlotes. Wrinkled such as his hat peasant of the nineteenth-century. Then the long silence, to my great surprise and unexpectedly, from its chair the sentence/saying ... mixing three languages, by ancient "valdotain" singsong, (Patois Provencal, French and Italian) for certainty of the my comprehension ... : ...
"Rien d'étrange! Dans un lieu ou il y a eut une mort violent, les Esprits, non rasseignés, peuvent encore se manifester" ... " ... In local customs in place close by of tragedy Spirits those presents!" ... On August 25th, 1929 accident in East Face Emilius's in try first ascent of Wall, a long way 420 meters~ from my camp: dead the Brothers "Dino" and Jean Charrey, with Cino Norat. (All a twenty-year - old boys...) ....."
Evening at base of East Face/Alla sera al Lac Dessous
MY "MODERN" VERSION
"The RETURN of DEADS"
+ + + + + + + + + + "... After the descent from the Emilius a temporal violent gathers us in the curtain Salewa twos plazas, sets above the Lake Frozen on the ancient Glacier of the Emilius Mountain. You has instigated since 19.10' ~ at 21.30' o'clock ~ violent and prolonged. I am very worried for his their child and, among to flash some lightnings and the rhombus "cavernous" of the thunders, that find good box of resonance against the walls of the Red Point and the Emilius, I find it hard to prender sleep. Times 1'00~: una hand, open, from the outside it crushes me the head. Surely I am dreaming in drowsiness. But the phenomenon repeats him a second time as soon as more in there in the night... Awake" Lupetto" (= Little Wolf) that calm snores. "Wolf Wolf" there is someone!" ... "Ma va là = italian expression or but you go there that bushels dreaming, what you are dreaming ... bushels dreaming, whoever want that is to this time here aloft!" ... However it doesn't pass very that touches to him and it jumps sù as a cricket... We put the frontal one and, brandishing ice-axe in hand, we go out to patrol. Will it be a chamois or a steinbock? It has candidly snowed out. Half span, and everything is firm. Mute, eternally immovable. Also the dark color and lower part sky seems suspended. As also the black great clods, still threatening. But firm. Nothing moves and there is not even trace of a birdie. We return to sleep, it does him to say. With the dawn all disappears and we departs for the crossing of the Red Points from the Arbolle's Pass to that des Laures. In the time all eclipses him in the memory of the meander of the brain... and in the meander of the memory... But years later, telling what happened in a study to a friend... an oldie, that small oldies of Aosta Valley with the graven face in papier-maché. Better in stone. Him that he/she listens in silence, almost of glass as his/her grey suit with clean shirt and without tie and the round hat from' 800 to the eyelashes. Type "big shoes and thin brain." It follows and he listens. Then, to surprise, and unpredictably it stirs from the numbness on his chair, and it exclaims. But it is not an exclamation, it is almost a sentence. Accented by that ancient it sing-songs "valdotaine" mixed to three idioms (Provenzal Patois, French and Italian), almost for fear not to be understood... "Mahhh..., ggniente of strange. Ren of étrange. Us sont les Revenants, ceux here reviennent; near if in that place has happened to death tragedian violent ou... Their Spirit n'a pas de paix... Leurs Esprits doesn't have peace"... The 25 August of 1929, to less than 420 m~ on-line of air from our curtain, his brothers' rope "Dino" and Jean Charrey and of Cino Norat fall from the East wall, to few from the peak. (All and three as soon as twenty-year old...).......".

The Dark East Wall/Tetra e serale Faccia Est
LES REVENANTS
+ + + + + + + + + + "... Dopo la discesa dall'Emilius un violento temporale ci coglie nella tendina Salewa a due piazze, posta sopra il Lago Gelato sull'Antico Ghiacciaio del Monte Emilius. Si scatena dalle 19.10'~ alle 21.30~ violentissimo e prolungato. Sono molto preoccupato per il bambino e, tra il lampeggiare dei fulmini ed il rombo "cavernoso" dei tuoni, che trovano ottima cassa di risonanza contro le pareti della Punta Rossa e dell'Emilius, faccio fatica a prender sonno.
Ore 1'00~: una mano, aperta, dall'esterno mi schiaccia la testa. Sicuramente sto sognando in dormiveglia. Ma il fenomeno si ripete una seconda volta appena più in là nella notte ... Sveglio "Lupetto" che ronfa tranquillo. "Lupo Lupo" c'é qualcuno!" ... "Ma va là che stai sognando, stai sognando ... sogni, chi vuoi che ci sia a quest'ora quassù!" ... Però non passa molto che tocca a lui e salta sù come un grillo ... Mettiamo la frontale e, brandendo piccozza in mano, usciamo a perlustrare. Sarà un camoscio o uno stambecco? Fuori, ha candidamente nevicato. Mezza spanna, e tutto é fermo. Muto, eternamente immobile. Anche lo scuro e basso cielo pare sospeso. Com'anche i neri nuvoloni, ancora minacciosi. Ma fermi. Nulla muove e non c'é traccia neppure di un'uccellino. Torniamo a dormire, si fa per dire. Con l'alba tutto scompare e partiamo per la traversata delle Punte Rosse dal Col d'Arbole a quello des Laures. Nel tempo tutto s'eclissa nella memoria dei meandri del cervello ... e nei meandri della memoria ... Ma anni dopo, raccontando l'accaduto in uno studio ad un amico ... un vecchietto, quei piccoli vecchietti valdostani con la faccia scolpita in cartapesta. Meglio in pietra. Ascoltante in silenzio, quasi di vetro, come il suo abito grigio con camicia linda e senza cravatta e il tondo cappello da '800 alle ciglia. Tipo "scarpe grosse e cervello fino". Segue e ascolta. Poi, a sorpresa, e imprevedibilmente, si muove dal torpore sulla sua sedia ed esclama. Ma non é un'esclamazione, é quasi una sentenza. Accentuata da quell'antica cantilena valdostana mischiata a tre idiomi (Provenzal Patois, Francese ed Italiano), quasi per timore di non esser inteso ...
"Mahhh ..., ggniente di strano. Ren d'étrange. Ce sont les Revenants, ceux qui reviennent; sellì vicino é avvenuta una morte tragica ou violente ... Il loro Spirito n'a pas de paix ... Leurs Esprits non hanno pace" ... Il 25 Agosto del 1929, a meno di 420 m~ in linea d'aria dalla nostra tenda, la cordata dei fratelli "Dino" e Jean Charrey e di Cino Norat precipitava dalla parete Est, a poco dalla vetta. (Tutti e tre appena ventenni ...).......".
