\nRossano Libera, a mountain guide from Novate Mezzola (Sondrio), is one of the most active Italian solo climbers of the 3rd millennium; \u00a0in his\u00a0curriculum the first solo winter ascent of Ringo Star (2004) and of the Cassin route on the north side of the Pizzo Badile (2008), just to give two names of reference.

\nBeing alone on the the most isolated slopes of the mountains in winter \u00a0season is for him a way to feel particularly alive. The obsession that drives him is to retrace the footsteps of the great alpinists\u00a0of the past that, on those vertiginous walls, have invented the future of mountaineering.
\n\u00a0
\nThe latest adventure of Rossano Libera is on the north face of Piz d’Eghen in Valsassina – Grigne group: after an attempt in mid-January cancelled for the increasing temperatures, on January 31st and February 1st he completed the first solo winter ascent of the Cassin route.
\n\u00a0
\nThis is a challenging route even in the good season that solves on the most logical way possible the problem posed by this huge wall of limestone, and is a particularly tough challenge when the thin ice covers the rock, \u00a0making the progression very precarious in the typical environment of the northern slopes
