perseverance
...margherita with the ski, and margherita it was.
After a previouse attempt stopped at lyskjock for the fog, this time after a heavy snowing the day before i reached the hut with other 3 skiers met along the way.
foggy again but then, from lysjock for about 1 hour lasted a great view.

Satuday the weather ws sunny and warm. Wonderfull snow from the top down to Gressoney. But unfortunalty when we left the Gnifetti Hut at 6 AM of Sunday 5th April was snowing and foggy.
In 1:30 we reached the Lysjoch and then.....we wait a while but we were not lucky. The fog turned even thicker.
Then we skied down all the way till gressoney.

Normal route from Mantova Hut thru Piramide Vincent
Gabi, Sev and I left Mantova Hut at 7am. Wind and sun. We reached summit of Piramide Vincent where we took a short rest and then we continued towards Margherita Hut which we reached at 1pm. All in all a beautiful climb and traverse. We slept in the hut fighting the headache with aspirines and water.

Second "4000" of my life, amazing sight in a beautiful day...
Normal route from Rif. Gnifetti. Historically interesting, but much less comfortable then the Citta' di Mantova.
