The routes have been equipped by the Mountain Guide Francesco Tremolada with the help of several friends including Giorgio Manica and Andrea Oberbacher, colleagues in the Alta Badia Guides company based in Corvara, Filippo Beccari and Thomas Kostner (author of: Landmanna Laugar, Jambo, Dylan & Co), Roberto Canzio, Marco Moretti and more…
We thank especially the Bec de Roces mountain hut, ideal for a refreshments at the end of climbing, which provided some of the gear used for bolting the routes.
