Pizzo d'Eghen - Filippo Corridoni (camino Cassin)

View route details

How could anyone remain indifferent to the charm of that superb rock wall rising above Valsassina? We couldn’t, and so after admiring it countless times, and after reading everything and more about its supposedly very dangerous and extremely tricky approach, we set off to climb it. It was a dream that, after a long time, finally came true—and it did not disappoint at all. The approach is less convoluted and less dangerous than described, taking just under two hours from the Bogani hut. It is well marked with red paint blazes, making it impossible to get lost. Once at the top of the lower buttress, a series of pitches (some with a slightly speleological feel), each more beautiful than the last, follow one another. In the end, due to a small rockfall that made one pitch impassable (first loose flakes, then an overwhelming amount of moss), we exited onto the nearby route Soffiando nel vento. The descent is very long, up and down through the forests of the Palone, following a series of fixed ropes that indicate the way.
