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. Roberto Zenobi
