La Bava della Sueur, new icefall at Bardonecchia

On 12/01/2013 Marco Conti and Mirella Becciu made the first ascent of La Bava della Sueur (III/5/D2, 80m), a new icefall at Rocce della Sueur, Bardonecchia, Italy.

Another new drip, this time at Bardonecchia (NE Italy) which, every now and then, reveals some great routes in the coldest season. This winter a thin line came into condition right next to the beautiful Inattesa Sorpresa - first climbed in 2008 by Massimo Bazzetta and Massimo Giuliberti – and the new 80m icefall breaches the rocky bastion via two pitches and difficulties up to III/5/D2. First climbed on 12 January 2013 by Marco Conti and Mirella Becciu, the new line is called La Bava della Sueur.
