Lombardia
Lombardia, the heigh Mello Valley. Thousands and more blue t-shirts. Climbers
seeking for stones. Shoes, chalk and the unmistakable crash pad (a mattress to soften
the falls). Many are the rocks and huge the lust to climb. Perfect granite. Plenty
of boulders. Easy, intermediate and difficult passages. Movements without end. Different
tries to solve the passage of my dreams. Fingers consumed by the rock. Well known
faces and unknown characters. Many stories to tell. Clear memories and blurred images.
Two unforgettable days. On Monday a deserted valley. Life has its natural course
again. Sheep and goats on the pastures. It rains. Next appointment in the Susa Valley
end of July near the Rifugio Levi Molinari. Many stones to climb again.
