07 Jan Ice – Cogne

 
As usual in ice-climbing good seasons, the valleys of Cogne are very busy.
 
Lot of climbers have targeted the famous routes of the area, many of them in excellent conditions (see the photos).
 
The avalanche danger has been reduced, although in  the next days are forecasted new snowfalls.
 
In good conditions  Decrire le Rage (WI 5 Gabarrou/Marlier 1996) , on the main road leading to Cogne, and Parto Gemellare (often repeated).
 
Very popular also Lau Bij WI 5 and often climbed the well known Lillaz (careful on the first pitch not well formed).
 
This year is particularly beautiful and often repeated is Di fronte al tradimento WI 5/5+ , located in Valnontey.
