 Classic
is beautiful someone said once ... but what is meant by classic
alpinism? It is not easy to describe in a few lines what this
apparently banal word means.
Famous
mountains are classic, and even more classic are the routes
which with admirable straightness rise up on the most arduous
and fascinating rock-faces. Every period in mountaineering has
its classic routes, regardless of the difficultly or the
equipment used, and will probably remain so despite the
inexorable passage of time. But what is the difference then
between classics and non-classics. By classics we mean those
climbs, ascents by the great names of alpinism who indiscutably
have made history, who with intelligence and capability knew how
to pick out on the mountains the most beautiful and obvious
routes, or maybe simply knew how to create with style something
new. Fortunately our mountains are full of classic routes, and
it is a true pleasure to ascend them. So here we propose for the
passionate mountaineers some classic routes in the Dolomites, in
the Alps and on request on any other mountain.
