\nOn March,\u00a05th, \u00a0Matteo Perico, Stefano Pelucchi, Domenico Fenio and Lorenzo Conserva, ice-climber from Bergamo \u00a0have completed one of the few full repeats of the Monte Combolo Supercouloir in the Central Alps.
\n
\nThe long couloir (600 V \/ 5) is also known as Spada del Combolo and was opened in March 1988 by Moroni, Rossi and Sertori until the end of the second iced\u00a0wall, then climbed to the top by the same Sertori with Vanotti in March 1993 .
\n
\nThis is a very attractive line that affects the severe northern wall of the mountain, characterized by two major vertical walls followed by other shorter and less steep with a few step of mixed and by a snow couloir.
\n
\nThis year, as you can see on the beautiful photo report of Lorenzo Conserva, conditions are good and also the initial free standing is shorter and full-bodied than usual, as the length of it changes in relation to the amount of snow avalanche that is deposited at the base.
\n
\nThe route is expected to remain in good condition for at least the entire month of March. It is important to pay attention to any new snow for the high risk of avalanches.\u00a0

\n
\nOverall Rating: ***** \/ ***** stars
\nIce conditions: good
\ntype ice: plastic, \u201cdecayed\u201d on the free-standing
\n
\nIt was a while that was in our thoughts and now is gone …
\nThe first free standing is large and well formed, but in the central section is "decayed" and screws are not very safe … the second big wall of ice is really amazing! then follow five \u00a0easier and very beautiful pitches on gully, with an intermediate slope snow … then mixed climbing at\u00a0M5 and at the end a 300m gully leading to the ridge at a short distance of the top… a worthwhile climb if if conditions permit … but the snow was safe!
\n
\n
\nConsider well all the risk factors because the first section of the descent is on the steep slopes on south-west ….\u00a0
