DOLOMITES: ILLUMINATI 1^ FEMALE REPEAT

Ines Papert and Lisi Steurer

February 05, 2012

 

On Jan. 27, the German climber Ines Papert partnered by the Austrian Lisi Steurer managed the ascent of Illuminati M11 + /WI 6 +, the icefall opened by Albert Leichtfried in Vallunga (Val Gardena), thus the probable third repeat and first female ascente.
 
Papert had tried Illuminati for three times already, with Leichtfried in 2006, with Astner in 2009 and Angelika Reiner in 2010, sending the section of dry, but finding the section of ice  not in favorable conditions.
 
As she writes on her blog, was alerted for acceptable conditions by the Catores’ Mountain Guide Hubert Moroder and once in action  found the crux free-standing rather thin and delicate, so much so that she could not put screws for several meters.
 
Illuminati was repeated in 2008 by Florian Riegler and by the party of the Slovenian Klemen Premrl and the Italian Erik Svab. In 2010, Spanish Luis Penin failed to complete the section of ice in reason of the poor condition of the same.
