19 Mar Cugi’s Corner – new ice line in Alpago (Dolomites)

 
On 2011, March 11th Barry Bona and  Simone Favero have managed the first ascent of a nice line on NW face Cimon di Palantina (Dolimites). The name of the route (“Cugi’s corners")  comes from the fact that the two climbers are cousins (cugini in italian)  and call each other “cugi” when climbing together, as they do since many years.
 
With this ascent, Barry Bona has climbed the last logical line up Cimon di Palantina, an aesthetical and highly demanding  dihedral, with a pitch of WI6+  and a couple of hard step of mixed climbing.
 
 

Before to establish  Cugi’s Corner TD+ 350m, Barry Bona has done on  NW of Cimon di Palantina, also Questo Gioco di Fantasmi 320m ED with Peter Moser and Goulotte Zio Ragno 250m TD with Alvio Bona.
