The world's most beautiful tower of

In crossing the Campanile

In my little carnet d'mountain climber is missing the "most beautiful tower of the World" , that of Val Montanaia. It happened thirty years ago, on 11 September 1981. Starting with the 127 Henry Bordeaux the day before from London, where he studied, having ham sandwiches and a bottle of orange juice, we stopped at the end of Cimoliana Valley, not far from the Rifugio Pordenone. Our finances do not allow us to stay in the refuge, and so we just pay a visit in the evening for a beer with friends. In a quiet corner dined only two climbers, who presented themselves as Vincenzo Altamura, MD Milan, and Stanislav Gilić River, Explorers of the Dolomites Oltrepiave that had opened only three days before a big way on Croda Cimoliana. 127 In sleep tight and ill, and harassed for most of the night by the croaking of frogs and toads in a pond near: so, at five o'clock we were already on their way along the valley leading up to the Campanile. The ascent took place regularly, for a length (the two hardest captain Henry!) And without particular emotions, apart from the flight My giaccavento the second length to the base, I had to return alone to go back a long way before unhooking from an outcrop. I remember the crossing not very difficult: I found instead a very slippery slot Cozzi, consumed by steps of 80 years, and uncomfortable Glanvell the fireplace, where I had to hoist the bag with arms. At the top we found a bag of bread with the signing of Mauro Corona, who came a few days before - I think for the 82 nd time - but not the bell, brought up there by climbing the Veneto in 1926 and that any "bold" would resound . Just that summer was in Pordenone, waiting to be repaired! The historic cliffs dropping into the void of N amused us much: in the early afternoon we were in Cortina, ready to delight your friends with the story of the ascension to one of the most famous peaks of the Dolomites and dream, "climbing" must "for our youth.
