A great man that wasn't celebrated like he deserved, in days in which we see lots of idiots appear in television programs... :-(
Great picture, I like especially the rocks in foreground and obviously, the great Badile.

Io in febbraio ho ricevuto da Riccardo Cassin un' autografo nel suo libro. Veramente eccezionale cosa hanno fatto i veri pionieri della montagna.

It was the 50th anniversary

of Cassins classical climb, and I happened to be on the Sciora hut in August 1987, when Sir himself appeared, about 80 years old, and the next day he made the wall again, accompagned by some guides. Very impressive.

What a face! Just read about Riccardo Cassin and found an article where years later Hermann Buhl, a German climber, made this face alone. The day before he arrived from distant Landeck on his bike (160km). After he succeeded he went back the same weekend, of course by bike. LG HJ

Yes, Hermann Buhl, a Legend (He was Austrian). I read his diary-book 'E' buio sul ghiacciaio', 'Achttausend drüber und drunter' in german. Recommended!

Dieser Badile steht da wie eine startbereite Rakete. Tolles Bild. Lg. Bruno.

Most marvellous perspective on Badile I have ever seen! - Terrific! - Tanti saluti, dirk

And the legend says ...

that Hermann Buhl made a terrible mistake during this trip: On the way back to Landeck he drove his bike into the Inn river. A bit tired, the poor guy.

Just another great quality pic of you! I will always remember Pizzo Badile, where I once came into a horrible thunderstorm, while climbing the North Edge. Cheers, Michael
