Cima di Salimmo · 3,115 m · Adamello-Presanella Alps · Italy
Canalino Faustinelli
Ascent:
From the arrival of the chairlift from Valbione to the Petit Pierre refuge at Corno d'Aola, take trail number 40 which, across the slope below Corno d'Aola (beware of crossing the residual snow couloirs), leads to the Conca di Pozzuolo (2050m). From there, still on trail, moving on the left orographic side of the stream, you reach around 2400 meters in sight of the face of the summit Salimmo and begin to climb on metric scree and snow on the flat area in front of the face. Head straight for the collet, preferably passing to the right or left of the large central island. The last section (200m) the couloir is narrower and steeper (60°). Beware of rockfall and of the exit under the large cornice. From the notch, following the ridge (two sub-summits are passed) or traversing across the slope on the opposite side, you quickly reach the summit cross.
Descent:
From the summit, return toward the notch of the little couloir, but after passing the first rise you see on the left the north face (40°). Descend easily by the big couloir (a little hidden from below) until you re-enter the face and rejoin the ascent route.
Helmet, ice screws, two axes.
The sun reaches the little couloir around 10 in the morning in mid-June.
Quick ascent which, if in good conditions, proves to be easy.
Elegant direct route.
Access:
Val Camonica (BS), Edolo, Ponte di Legno, Corno d'Aola lifts, Valbione, Corno d'Aola refuge. Dirt road from Ponte di Legno; narrow from Valbione to Corno d'Aola refuge.
Accommodation:
Petit Pierre refuge at Corno d'Aola. Open perhaps on June weekends. Not during the week.
