28 Mar Presolana (Orobic Alps) ice news

 
Again interesting news from Orobics Alps, again on the North wall of Presolana, and again the same  team of Piantobaldo. To tell the truth in this round have also added other enthusiasts of new itineraries on ice and mixed to be developed on the northern wall of the shady mountain
 
There were  two teams that worked separately in the same day and that, in same day, caught two brilliant and attractive goals of good engagement.
 
Ennio Spiranelli, CAAI Alessandro Ceribelli a Maurizio  Panseri invented, in 12 hours for the full trip, the Couloir Margherita, a line that insinuates itself between the folds of the north wall of Valzurio ridges
 
350m IV; WI4; M5
 
The second team , formed by  Yuri Parimbelli e Tito Arosio, has opened a new route more  to the right by the evocative name Remollo ma non mollo Not yet know the technical details of this second route does, but Yuri has promised to unveil soon.
