Sunday began like any other: woke up in the middle of the night, fast breakfast consumed in the silence of the house and then in the street waiting for the driver on duty, Ale. Barley is also picked up some with half the gully west of Legnone we know to be in good condition.
Roccoli Lorla where we arrive in a welcoming spring temperature: 9 degrees even if there is no trace of the sun! A little 'disappointed peri 12 degrees of inversion we move to the top, I begin to ponder that if the situation does not change the case to let the channel be ...
"I accept it as a magical time dawn in the mountains (poetic license)"
The channel is in the center. The current conditions are excellent all the way up. With the temperatures of these two days you have to start very soon, to the thermic ocio!
the "Cà de Wood" and nonmiricordoilnome meet Massimo, two cute boys with whom the group is now, and all five we start the attack of this beautiful slide from the top rushes for 500 yards with a constant slope on 45 and some a little bit 'more.
the worst happens on a treacherous traverse of rock and ice, when the harpoon is not taken by Massimo and I see from my eyes: 3 / 4 feet bouncing off the rocks, then a long slide on snow and ice in the door near an old landslide where it finally stops. Barley runs immediately to the victim shortly followed by nonmiricordoilnome, Ale and myself ... Just look for that one must use all'ely. Nonmiricordoilnome attaches to the phone and goes back to the fast Ca of wood, while the three of us try to fix Maximum: move not talked about, we prefer to make what some define as "a terracing Ligurian" in practice the shore with five picks and two supporting the head and chest.
minutes pass and I try to keep him conscious with the worst shit that we go in mind: jokes, questions ... We give free play to our ability to talk and sometimes we see that Max closes his eyes. The pain is all but too cold! With a thermal cloth, fleece jackets and isolate him as much as possible from the fresh wind and snow. Then finally ely! We help rescue three men to load it on the stretcher, and within half an hour takes flight ... Here a bit of relief
comes the blender
A bit 'shaken to ask ourselves what to do and we opt to follow our original plans, the wind brought down the temperature and the channel seems to be in good condition. Our intuition is not wrong and up the channel, each with its own pace (and with his thoughts ...); even manage to reach the top before the sun's rays will penetrate!
Dalla cima visuale SPAZIALE a 360°....
Purtroppo dobbiamo lasciare questo mondo paradisiaco e tornare verso valle dove ci aspettano un paio di salami e una buona bottiglia di Buglium!
Io vado in montagna con grandi persone! (magari qualcuno un po' sbanfone, però grande comunque :) ! Ha anche azzeccato la diagnosi! A dire il vero solo al 50%, non diteglielo perchè ci rimane male!!) .
Hanno gestito la situazione con la massima tranquillità e lucidità possibile, evitando di lasciarsi andare a personalismi o, peggio, eroismi inutili. Grandissimi!!
Grandi anche gli uomini del soccorso che hanno operato su un pendio a 30°!
BELLO AVERE COMPAGNI COSI'!
P.S. Abbiamo sentito Massimo al telefono e sta benone! Un po' di stuff is broken but it has already want to come back in the mountains ... Ale!
