June 30, 2006: Mauro asked us to show him the Rocciamelone...

 

 


at the start (2000 meters above the sea level) : protection against the sun...

 


...climbing toward the first stop up...

 


stop up to Cą d'Asti: 2854 meters

 


(Mauro - called "Paino"  and Samiba - called "Tozzino")
five minutes of standstill

 


"Painoooo...but is the whole path so steep??"...
(Samiba)

 


"...nooo, don't worry, after will be better!" (Ricky & Mauro)

 


I'm stopping here!
 (Samiba at Croce di Ferro - 3306 meters)

 


Tozzino...I told you that the path will be better...
(Mauro)

 


Mauro and Ricky..and aloft, the peak of Rocciamelone

 


...Mauro look, now it is easier ...or not?
(
I don't know why but Mauro was so angry, its only reply was always "shit!"

 


finally we are on the peak of Rocciamelone - 3538 meters

 


Mauro and Anna
