Quando ero piccolo ricordo che avevo paura del vuoto, in maniera terrificante.
Già salire la scala a pioli che portava sul fienile della casa di mio nonno mi faceva letteralmente "cagare addosso".
Quando nel 1980 venni qui per la prima volta, in gita domenicale, mio padre mi portò vicino al ciglio del burrone :
Mi risucchia even if you think about it.
Not now,
hours makes me a "fear" normal, if they are not insured if they are secured with rope, I'm not even that.
But when I think of that moment of a summer in which I had not completed eight years I still feel that emptiness suck live by.
Moreover, the Stone is really something that one wonders why it got there.
A huge sandstone boulder was there, on a fund poggiatosi marly and clay of our hill medioappenninica.
But I could be wrong, I'm going from memory and I'm not a geologist.
course .. the temptation of thinking, imagining a 'remote age in which children have never played for these giants that were plain for them and leave it there one of these stones, I had, indeed, I just thought!
They had no fear of emptiness, the void were big and they did,
and left there for a pebble.
A pebble terrifying for us ..
small.
routes that run through these towers, these edges are extreme.
It is also a mountain of "mules" in the sense that for the simple path if they can easily reach the summit that is fit for Sunday picnics, but it is also fearful of a mountain. Climbers know that.
The uniqueness of this mountain is the strength of its rock, the sandstone peaks that make up the largest, highest of the Apennine ridge are not as strong, are formed in layers, like the sweet "puff pastry" break up.
The Giant is like that, rock that flakes .. is strong because it is large,
the Stone is strong but because sound. Remember one of those men "Tutton" small but terrible.
nell''estate When I came here in 1980 when I was not yet eight years I remember that made my father took me to the brink of jumping.
If I remember that moment I still feel the emptiness inside shout at me, suck me off, and down.
The "Diamond". Infant son, with the brothers, of the stone. One of those stones that the Children Giants took off their shoes, or that they remained under the soles.
The Diamond is a climbing wall Ideal for climbers, it sees more than equipped on both sides "single pitch, climbing routes via a single insurable short pitch, even reaching down to the top of the easy way by passing the rope through rock and hard place over there. Some are simple, suitable for beginners, while others are very difficult for experts who want to work on technique without environmental problems date from the streets longer pacing the main walls of the Stone.
The view from the top, always beautiful, with a sky streaked with smontanti time now.
A 12 mm with the 12-24, the field is wide, the sky and crushed the peaks of the ridge on the horizon line you see the little pyramid of Cimon on the left-central area, and the Giant on the right.
It 's a mountain for all, for hikers and mountaineers Sunday. The biggest difficulty of this environment is now for me to resist the smell of fried dumplings that rises from the refuge and from the restaurant below, in fact, now that I'm going to close this post, and the thirteen and thirty, I still feel, and hunger mounts . So, I go lunch, and children waving giant giant bugs and have fun on their shoulders:)).
