Trittico Cassin – Multi-pitch Climbing

The feature of Riccardo Cassin in the Lecco area has something mythological about it.
The mountaineer spent practically his entire adult life in these places, leaving us a legacy of multitude routes that today remain among the busiest in the area.

The idea is simple: 2 days for 3 routes of the great Cassin.

The first day will be dedicated to the ascent of the Cassin alla Corna di Medale. This is a historic wall overlooking the center of Lecco, where Riccardo Cassin along with Mario Dell'Oro opened this route in 1931 with a heroic bivouac on the wall. (5a)

In the evening, we will then move to Pian dei Resinelli, Cassin's home for many years, where we will spend the night at the refuge.

On the second day we will leave early towards the Torrione Palma.This was opened, along the south wall, by Cassin along with Riccardo Redaelli in 1931 (5a).
We will then move quickly towards the Torre Costanza where we will climb Via del Littorio , which was first climbed in 1933 by the Cassin, Dell'Oro, and Varale team (6b, 5c obligatory).
