# D 'Asta Lift_
Qualcuno di molto molto molto grande deve aver dimenticato per terra, passando, un sasso.
Si parlava di Bismantova come un sassolino dei giganti, questo qui in effetti è un po' più grosso, un bel po' più grosso.
Cima D'Asta, Stella di Granito, cuore dell'omonimo gruppo e cima maggiore della zona dei gruppi di Lagorai-Cima D' Asta, è un immane massiccio di grandiosa imponenza, un' imponenza molto maggiore di quella che esprimono i suoi 2847 metri di elvazione. Si tratta di un monolito di Adamello tonalite granite-like, which is different for different grains and the presence of pyrites which give a reddish hue at times.
Above: the
"Zimone" to make the evening along the dirt road that climbs from Sorgazza.
addition ..
is not the first time that I go, this is one of the mountains for me, "elective" in my case, it was in 1990 that went up for the first time giving birth to what was then an infinite love, specifically for this summit in general for the mountains. That
just last Thursday of August I get up early in the morning, smell the air, the key time and I understand that is the morning to go right: The sky is clear, it does not rain today, at least for a while '. Parto
walk from Val Malene, could earn almost three hundred meters, taking me with the car in Sorgazza Hut, but I think really the most beautiful walk from ... and salirmela, enjoy it (and suffer) as a whole, is a jump from approximately 1900 meters in altitude, but the dazed me that typically characterizes the morning does not allow me to do with a problem.
I put on a good pace along the road, pass the Sorgazza great career and gain fast 2000 meters of altitude.
But when the trail climbs that things get more serious, because in effect after the first hour and a half's walk forced, now that I have to "pull up" body bag and all that, I start feeling tired, my legs you lead, wind thickens.
After the crossroads of Valon near the Cima d 'Asta finally arriving in what is the real world of rock of this mountain.
We are on Laste.
boards of hard compact granite.
(... In the background the peaks of Passetto ..) And finally ... can be seen emerging from the Laste ..

Also because the track does not run for more twists and turns, but rises

arrived in the basin of the lake shot straight to go see it. It 's something unique, even to have seen others, alpine lakes, so much so as if the emerald set in the crown of a king, and is so pure, so clear. One gets the impression that everything is .. clean here.
The lake has an area of \u200b\u200b90,000 square meters, a depth of about 38 meters, and its waters are very transparent. The white Secchi disk, tests which measure the transparency of the water of reservoirs such as this, was visible 18 meters deep.
The refuge Brass Brentari.
Wanted by the SAT at the beginning of last century, was inaugurated in his first house in the cube on 24-August of 1908. Passed unscathed the war of the Great War, succumbs to the destruction brought by World War II. Today 's building was inaugurated on August 10, 1952.
I take the good book "
CIMA AUCTION - Proposals for a hiking exploration - of Vitlacil-Gioppi, text that I recommend to anyone who knows, should know and love this mountain, the memory taken from the report of Charles Zanghellini, manufacturer responsible for building works:
".. months spent in the construction, including untold hardships. All materials required for the construction of the shelter were brought up there in the back of a man from incredible distances. "
Do we think
aa comfortable hikers in our comfortable age, that we enjoy the great pleasures of huts like this, and many others like this, complaining that too much is not convenient, many, wonderful times!
Here is a complete view of the crown jewel ...
Go up to the rocks ... Forzelleta knobs, shaped by the nature of time with the patience of millions of years, rocks, broken in a moment of anger latent Giel, bristling at the heaven cries.

E 'rock now in this sea of \u200b\u200bquiet storm now the world of this star resting on the ground.
Going up, we're almost to the pass.
Deep Sky ... From here you enter the heart of this mountain, the world turned to stone. Terrible and wonderful. It also seems a dip in time in one day twenty years ago.
The scam of this section of the course is that you get here already quite tired, being up to almost 2700 meters, but then if they lose about 80, which is necessary to regain the rocky final ascent to the summit. Going
meeting already people are coming down, it is now noon.
I am a bit 'out of breath. At the top I'm afraid that I hang from the cross peak ...

We are at the top.
Magnificences.

's time to go down. The clouds are rising, will soon be everywhere.
Sceso dalla vetta , passato al Brentari per una goulash suppe calda, ci si ributta in val Malene.
Qui la Cima del Passetto.
Rocce granitiche e verde.
Verde soprattutto.
Nella zona di Cima D'Asta sono stimati circa il 2% delle foreste trentine, circa dieci milioni di alberi..
(spero che non li abbiano contati uno ad uno !!! ).
"Chi di verde si veste, di beltà si bea".
Diceva un antico detto.
Le caratteristiche ossidazioni ferrose che danno una tinta calda al granito di queste mountains, differentiation, as I mentioned above, the tone of 'Adamello.
The tops of the Passetto greet me from now declined to share in the direction of Málaga Sorgazza the hike to the top of the great draws to a close. No more than six kilometers by road to the campsite Val Malene.
If they give me a ride I guess I accept it, because my feet are now under foot, more like a Wienerschnitzel in which a pair of legs ...
