Details
This meet will join members of CAI Saluzzo on Monte Rosa, approaching from Gressoney la Trinité, and will hope to climb routes of F+ to D on peaks such as the Dufourspitze, Signalkuppe, Piramide Vincent, Corno Nero, Liskamm, Castor and Pollux.
There are 8-10 places available for AC full members, and you should arrive with some acclimatisation up to 4000m under your belt. Note the AC main meet is directly before this, and some parties will drive from one to the other.
More details to follow.
Malcolm and Adele have both spent time in Italy in 2019 firming up contact with our Italian friends. This promises to be a fantastic revival of the exchange between our clubs, with plans afoot to host a return meet in North Wales in 2021.
