Expedition Report - No. 1
Summer 1997 Alpine climbing
trip to Val Bregalia, Piz Badile and Piz Cengalo: many a brown trouser
moment!
During Summer '97, Gareth Bradbury and I spent 3 weeks in the Italian Alps...learning (very quickly)
all about the pleasures and perils of Alpine Climbing...We spent the first
week getting fit and generally relaxing on the shores of Lake Como with
our friends, Rosie and Nando Gestra. We climbed in the mountains west of
Lake Como, including Monte Duria & Piz. Ledu. For the second week we
moved up to the higher mountains around Val Masino, camping below the south
face of Piz. Badile.
