streapadair > Day 1, 7pm. Monte Grosso at sunset, from about halfway to the Ortu di u Piobbu hut.

Lo giorno se n'andava , e l'aer bruno
toglieva gli animai che sono in terra
dalle fatiche loro, ed io sol uno . . .

streapadair > Day 2, 8am. Leaving the Ortu di u Piobbu hut.

streapadair > Day 2, 11am. The daunting prospect southwards from the Bocca Piccaia.

~ The next col (Bocca d'Avartoli) is the greenish ramp to the L of the middle-distance peak (Punta Innominata), while by the end of Day 3 I was on the Bocca Tumasginesca (aka Col Perdu) - on the R of the prominent centre-skyline peak (Punta Minuta).

streapadair > Day 3, 10am. These little critters are everywhere, darting across your path.

~ Dante, as usual, got it spot on :-
. . . il ramarro, sotto la gran fersa
de' dì canicular, cangiando siepe,
folgore par se la via attraversa.

streapadair > Day 3, 3pm. Capu Larghia from above Asco Stagnu.

~ Evidence of forest fire and regeneration.

streapadair > Day 4, 7.30am. Punta Stranciacone

~ From my camp a little below the Bocca Tumasginesca (having failed to find a site on the col itself).

streapadair > Day 4, 9am. In the Cirque de la Solitude.

~ The route from the col, not as alarming as it looks, goes to the L of the picture, then back across, effectively traversing the foot of the W face of the Minuta.

streapadair > Day 4, 10am. Bergerie de Ballone, below the Ravin du Stranciacone.

Day 1, 4pm. Calenzana.

> Day 1, 4pm. Calenzana.
