When slopes and ridges are freed by the snow which remains hidden in the steep north facing gullies, it's time to pack away skis and to get ropes and carabiners. Not forgetting ice axes and crampons.
The now accessible and dry mountain faces offer climbing enthusiasts countless possibilities for multi-pitch routes on modern and adventure terrain.
It’s time to exploit the winter training!
Those who prefer classic rock mountaineering, where the environment and the summit are the goal of the ascension, will head towards the rock ridges that with their aerial lines are the most spectacular way to the summits.
Those who prefer snow mountaineering and the use of ice axes and crampons will instead seek the severe and shady gullies which, with more or less direct lines, lead to the summit.
