Climbed the NW face route from the Forno hut. Beautiful climb on great snow. The bergschrund was the most difficult part; ~20ft almost vertical. Descended the normal route via Passo Sissone. Watch for crevasses!
It was my very first Alpine peak
Snow conditions were quite good then. The area at the base had lots of crevasses and the bergschrund was nasty, but the final flank was really nice.
good conditions and quite busy on the Saturday of Easter. After Cima di Rosso we climbed Monte Sissone in addition
