"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Wind stormWe started with the purpose of climb a couloir on the east side, but a very strong wind forbad us to reach Sebastiani Hut! The storm was frightining: you can't resist to it more than few minutes, if not properly equipped! We decided to climb an easy couloir (45°/50° the steeper stretch) on the south side, facing on Valle del Sole. It was quite amusing and sheltered by winds, until the exit to the west ridge: here the winds blew strong and we had to creep to the summit! Descent by Valle del Sole.

Inclination of the route: between 30°/40°, the steeper stretch (less than 100m) between 45°/50°
Hard, icy snow.

A ''new'' climb!We climbed an unknown (for us) couloir on the west side: approach from Valle del Sole, then go up towards the rocks of the west side, following a couloir in the center that ends on the west ridge, few meters below the summit. (about 500m of vertical gain)
Difficulty: mostly 35°; some spot 40/45°, some tricky traverses.
Conditions: few snow, ice in some spots, temperature of -2°C (it started to snow when we exit to the ridge)
