"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

SnowyArmed with a topographic map and some information from the warden at Rifugio Margaroli, I decided to explore the mountain. There was still a lot of old snow, which normally shouldn't be there anymore by the end of June.
According to the contours, the western slopes didn't look too steep though, and besides, I had crampons and an ice axe, so I figured I had a good chance.
Early in the day the snow was fine. I sat on the summit for a long time, enjoying the views. I descended to Lago Busin inferiore, and by the time I got there the snow was soft.
