New lines in Gressoney - Italy
05 January 2010 In Gressoney La Trinité - very close to the main street of the valley, on the nice rock cliff of Lis Balma where normally is located Candela di Senden (now not formed) and where Alpine Guide Adriano Trombetta established many dry-tooling routes- some local climbers settled an artificial system providing water. So, two new interesting icefalls has been climbed around Christmas by Riccardo Olliveri & c. La Donna cannone is a nice freestanding right of the classic Senden and of the rarely formed Circo Volante. Il domatore features many superposed free-standings with a final pitch oblique to the left (the first ascenders using some bolts and a belay of a dry-tooling route) ms Source: www.mountain-passion.com
