MOUNTAINEERING COURSE

The program consists of 3 days.

Day 1: The "Il Sentiero delle Acque Pendenti" (The Path of Hanging Waters) in Val di Genova is traversed. This is a route of grade II with a III° passage equipped with resin anchors. This allows addressing topics such as knot tying, lead climbing belay, second climber rescue, and progression techniques. At the end of the route, after about an hour of walking, Rifugio Mandrone is reached. Next to the refuge, there is a small climbing area where the practical maneuvers continue. (Elevation gain: +800 m)

Day 2: Ascent to Cresta Croce and Cresta Cannone. From Rifugio Mandrone, one heads towards the vast Adamello glacier. After traversing its initial part, turn left and, after a short steep section, reach the ridge leading to Cannone della Grande Guerra. Continue along the ridge to reach the summit of Cresta Croce and then descend to the "Ai caduti dell'Adamello" refuge. In the afternoon, descend again to Rifugio Mandrone. Throughout the day, techniques such as glacier rope tying, crevasse rescue maneuver, and setting deadman anchors in the snow will be covered. (Elevation gain: +700 m)

Day 3: Ascent to Cima Payer (partially equipped ridge route). Participants will take part in the ascent of this peak (which has been the scene of various events related to the First World War), putting into practice and refining the topics covered in the first two days. (Elevation gain: +600 m, followed by a long descent)
