dolomite An episode of history that deserves to be deepened, not least because of the uncertainty in the exact timing, as the first winter ascent of Mount Cristallo. Attempted by St. Moritz Siorpaes Holzmann and already seven years after the conquest, in January 1872, but failed due to excessive snow, the climb was able to drive with Peter Dimai Deo Bortolo Alvera, it appeared and immediately disappeared from the history of Dolomites because it was not a climber, but the Imperial Royal Road Master (as Santo Siorpaes, but on the road to Passo Tre Croci). Piero de Jenzio (1855-1908) e Bortel de chi de Pol (1849-1922) vinsero il Cristallo il 22 novembre 1882. Per qualche fonte, per alcune altre, invece, era il 22 febbraio, quindi esattamente 129 anni fa). La guida aveva ventisei anni, e il suo compagno di cordata trentatrè, moglie e figli. Le maggiori difficoltà incontrate dai due ampezzani si dovettero sicuramente ascrivere al freddo, giacché l’itinerario si svolge fra i 2808 e i 3216 m di quota; le difficoltà sono alla portata di ogni alpinista che abbia piede fermo e abitudine all’esposizione, ma d'inverno le pareti poco ripide sono le peggiori, e non credo che in centotrent'anni quell’invernale abbia avuto repetitions galore. I wonder how Peter Bortel and saw the Ampezzo valley from the top of the crystal: its villages, fields and meadows covered with snow and surrounded by silence, a framework which crib unfortunately not told in writing and you can only imagine. That was the first winter ascent of a mountain in Ampezzo, repeating nine years later, December 10, 1891, from the same tone with his cousin Peter and Jeanne Immink Dutch client on the anchor more difficult, although much lower Croda da Lago .
