partner to Piz Badile 12-15 September

[udigri]

Hi,

I am an Aspirant from the Israeli Alpine club. I will be heading to climb Piz Badile NE, Via Cassin and possibly 1-2 more routes in the area.
I am looking for a good, experienced partner to join me between the 12-16 September.
I land in MIlan on the 11th.

Dopo le 15 ore sullo spigolo nord, dite che potrei propormi?


Sorry Udigri, I'm not the person you are looking for

Hi Udi, nice project, the period is very good for the Badile, but only wit very stable weather. September can be cold.

You can do the Cassin, go down to the Gianetti hut on the italian side and from there climb the Pizzo Cengalo (Vinci route is beautiful, but you have many options) or climb the Badile again (you can climb on the South side, diretta Fiorelli, Molteni, many others... or go to the English route on the East face via Cengalo Pass).

Hope you find a partner, I have to work on that week...

Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for the info! I wander- you say to start at Geanetti hut for the Cassin? did I understand you correctly?
Vinci route sounds very nice as well.

one question on my mind: do you think it is possible to find a partner at mid September if I come by myself? If so- in which is there a better chance?

Thanks again,
Udi

For the Cassin you start from Capanna Sasc Furà in the Swiss Side (Val Bondasca) but you can go down from the normal italian ruote to Gianetti hut and stay there some day. Look for the Sciora Swiss map.

Finding a partner is not very easy, don't come here assuming to find one...

So I figured... I guess I misunderstood your sentance and became very surprised

Hi Udi,
I would be amazed if you will find in this way a partner to climb Cassin route on Pizzo Badile. Although it is very simple on the technical side it is really committing and only a crazy guy will go there with an unknow buddy.
I often climbed with someone I never meet before but only on sport routes and friendly environment. In this way I relized who was the people I just meet and eventually I decided to climb again with him (or her)...
Just my 2 cent.

Hi Giudirel,

of course you are correct and I wouldn't count on amnyone I dont know. however, you can alwasys find out after 1-2 days who you are dealing with...
I never thought to pick up someone and climb a 800 M wall.

I guess I really need a partner and looking to cover all possibilities. My designated partner can't join me this time...

thanks for your comment

Ciao Giudirel !

asside from caling Sasc Fura hut and asking - where do you get your information from?

I have been searching the net but didn't find any source. care to shareyour secret with me?

your comments are very helpfull, even though they make me sad

I said "maybe".
Future is unknown!
Now weather is very, very bad, temperature is dropped, and it is raining cats and dogs...
But "maybe" weather will improve and temperature rise again.
I guess yesterday and today the snow falled till 2400 m... but maybe it will melt... but not as soon as we would like on north sides...

Anyway my advice is to track if everyone climb on Pizzo Badile northern side looking at information sites as like this one or www.gulliver.it.
You can too ask information to the friend of mine Gianluca Maspes (Rampik) that is the owner of Masino Climbing blog http://masinoclimbing.blogspot.it/. He live in San Martino and he keeps in touch with all the best climber rolling around there.

Feel free to ask again. I live not too far from Badile and other friends here are much closer than me...

[udigri]

well in this case I hold my fingers crossed!

thanks for all your usefull information ,I hope to repay sometime
(perhaps when you feel like coming to climb in my backyard at Wadi Rum)

Hi Giudirel,

I have sent a mail to your friend "Rampik", hope he has good and current information.

did you hear anything new? Sasc Fura said they can't see any snow on the Cassin, but maybe there is some way up...
