Torrione del Cinquantenario - Fantasma della liberta'
View route detailsIt almost feels like being in Florida because of the heat and humidity—and then there’s me being stupid, running up the meadows leading to the Rifugio Rosalba because, well, we’re going to sweat anyway, so we might as well do it quickly… So in no time we’re at the start, where the tropical climate gives way to shade and a rather freezer-like atmosphere… Incredible, the Grignetta—it always knows how to surprise you. We start climbing and the route is truly beautiful: never intimidating, always well protected… an absolutely enjoyable route. I manage to lose the competition for “who pulls on more pitons,” limiting myself to just one—and not even on the hardest pitch. Could it be a sign that I should stick only to extreme routes?
