"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

NordkanteRappelled the Nordkante for logistical reasons. Not recommended. Made for a long day. If you can, I highly recommend going down the italian side instead. It was still an amazing day though!

Normal routeClimbed with andrea.it. Fantastic day, weather and mountain. No climbers on the route and stay on that summit alone was really a nice atmosphere.

Route Climbed: cassin Date Climbed: august 2005Great route, great ambiance. Descent via Nordkante, which is not very comfortable. No snow in the route, descent and approach, so no mountain shoes needed(end of august!).

Route Climbed: Nordkante Date Climbed: 25 July 1985Very long: about 26 pitches. Descended to the Italian side.
Despite what the English language guide says, there is no regular bus service from Bagne de Masino!

Route Climbed: Cassin Date Climbed: 8 Aug 2003We left the Sasc Fura hut at 4am, started climbing at 6am. Reached the ridge at mid-day, summited 12:30pm. 4 1/2 hours to descend the Nordkante.
Perfect conditions. No snow and the top chimneys were dry.
Fabulous route.

Route Climbed: N-face Date Climbed: SeveralI've made several (three !) attempts to climb the Badile N-face. But without any success ... ;-(
Every time we tried the route the weather turns bad at the day we want to climb. But I will not abandon !
