The fascination of mine: the museum of Massa Marittima

After the very successful foray into mine in 2009 and in preparation for the new adventure next year not could miss to visit the Mining Museum of Massa Marittima (GR), a statement to say the least unique of its kind that literally immerses visitors in the harsh world and claustrophobic miners.
First we should point out that during the Maremma, a short distance from Grosseto metalliferous hills, where stress being " miners by 3000 years, practically since the time of the Etruscans.
In the village of Massa Marittima, well-preserved medieval jewel and must-visit, re-created to perfection of the lines of burrows, tunnels and rooms in an old mining travertine quarry, creating in practice in a manner faithful inside the mines metalliferous area, also carried vehicles, equipment and other materials from its mines now abandoned Gavorrano and fields.

The tour winds through a series of tunnels built by carpenters perpendicular to each other mines with the same techniques and the same materials used in the extraction sites.

Along the way the guide tells some technical details of production techniques and reveals some aspects of daily hard life of miners, starting with the coexistence with rats (which were used as "seismograph" for be warned of imminent failure) to the poor sanitary conditions of work. Here is a reconstruction of the table:

Days prevention and self-rescue

We have just completed the second "day of practice for prevention and self-rescue in the caves and ravines," organized by the Speleological Federation of Marche with the collaboration of the CNSAS (National Corps Mountain Rescue). Among the participants, about thirty in all from different regional groups, it surely does not impress our representation, that 6 members is among the most numerous.

The choice of environment is quite apt and also the weather is on our side on Saturday, in the lobby of the Grotto of Our Lady describes techniques for self-rescue in the cave, passage of splits and knots . It 's definitely a good opportunity to review and refine those maneuvers necessary to put in a position of safety remained a victim hanging on a rope. At the end of the day, then we become really aware of how difficult even pretend to be the victim helpless and remain hanging sull'imbrago: bruising and pain around various confirm that the "position of the loin" is not the more comfortable to the human body!

The convivial atmosphere that has developed from the start, alternating with moments of seriousness to the more traditional braces goliardia caving, continues to shelter near Foss Lake: After a lecture on the prevention of accidents finally we begin to think in front of the table laid for dinner!
Perhaps the fatigue of the day, or who knows perhaps too many to drink, to 23.00 means we cooked almost every move in the dormitories, where, however, the jokes and laughter are still more or less until midnight (I almost came to tears from laughter ...).

For the second day we moved in instead of climbing Pontechiaradovo today are faced (for us it is really a refresher) techniques to secure progression in the gorge, that is, those that allow you to easily maintain releasable rope descent , and we are shown some useful maneuvers direct intervention, to be applied in case of arrest on a rope, perhaps under the waterfall.

The highlight of the afternoon is just the tutorial for the recovery of a victim stuck with the cut of his rope.
It 's a quick and relatively simple maneuver, but we also learn that should be done carefully to avoid making damage with his own blade ...

All participants at the end, I met the intense weekend, thanks again to the FSM and especially to the boys of CNSAS.

After a month spent in handle and locking descender we wanted something that would put to the test the technical and emotional skills acquired in previous weeks. The day is warm and thick clouds of the morning dissolve quickly in the morning. Input to the 11, eight out of ten students present, three teams staggered to avoid overburdening the ascent. Two teams (5 students) have met their old camp said Carabinieri Sala Rinaldi, given the still abundant forces could continue for the fund, but the result is satisfying for students than for instructors, encourages us to think that for once would not hurt a final exit of the course will end with a dinner respectable time in the restaurant. In fact, the second: 30 about the team also reached the cars of disarmament.
We congratulate the students who helped maintain the course at a high level since the first release, the conditions are there, now you begin to make speleolgia ...

Glaciospleleologia 2009

did not go exactly as we had hoped the shipment of glaciospeleologia year. The glacier was chosen for maneuvering the Ötztal glacier in Austria. We start in four at a time the country's trans, Mauro and Scriven you the GSS, climbers and two friends, Frank and Mauro, who immediately appreciate your help openness and availability to an activity unusual for them. The forecast is good for at least two of the three days of stay. in the past days there are snowfalls that were not, however, seemed to have been so consitent. On the contrary, unfortunately, the approach to the winter shelter at an altitude of 2800 Hochwildehaus this is now problematic. The snow weighed down by sluggish pace our zain the nearly 20Kg. The dirt road that serves as a path is the one that unfortunately because of the wind has been a greater degree than the snow, the path out of it is impassable. At an altitude of 2400 the height of the surface seems to increase further. It does not take long to realize that we will never reach its destination. Already postage from the effort, the time between inexorable towards the end of the light, and yet a lot of gradient and the steepest part of the route and dangerous to do, soffertissima take the decision to go on our steps. We come back in the dark in the village of Obergurgl, Solden pious ntiamo the tent under a weak field in the first snowfall useful without cure us all around the houses. morale is not high but a plate of pasta and a beer immediately make us think about what to do for the next day on the glacier ski runs are open, we will ask the next day for info. The next day greets us with the blue sky ... Sting and the Austrian ski pass. The area is very small for the amount requested. The desire ice is so much in a jiffy and we decide to move to Switzerland at the time of the glacier Morteratsch, located at lower altitude and easily accessible. The second day he spent with the shift of the field. Accomplice to the sky clear of clouds, promises a thrilling night in our small tents near the being Morteratsch tion. After an outdoor dinner at -7 ° invigorated by a campfire, we tucked into sleeping bags (technical, but not Himalayan!) dressed in almost everything we have and spend more or less decentem body overnight at -12 °. In the morning, the joy of movement is so great, so as quickly as possible we head towards the glacier. The intention is still to come in the evening. At the front of the glacier we visit some large caverns Contact eroded by the river terminal. Here we move beyond where we meet in the first short mo swallow without scrolling. The only time available allows us to organize a session in climbing traction piolet the mill (about 15 m vertical) and perform a series of photographs inside it. This year it went, we had to stall too much for various reasons and we paid the late departure, a week before the conditions were perfect. Patience. The next exploration.

Cave Faggeto Tondo (Hole of Beasts)

To retrieve an output in the cave with the participants missed the fees , we held an entrance to the cave or hole round of beech beast on Monte Cucco.
We left the same, although the weather forecast had predicted SNOW! Along the road, the clouds were dark and threatening, but as the General said: "later improves" ... or worse? Once at the park, we looked to see if there was an earthquake or the wind was shaking the signs like reeds in the wind. Changed in a hurry we ran into the woods, the only allotment from the icy wind whipping.
's entrance to the cave is about half of the entire development, so you can go up or down. We preferred the upper (+160) for 3 different lifts and tunnels. Despite the modest
dimension, this cave offers fun environments: the rooms where the floor is completely covered with white chalk excavated from dripping and labyrinthine tunnels that lead to the Hall of iron.
pity that the time available to us has been little, certainly we will return soon to explore the lower, more muddy and wet. Cristian Paolini
