Questi i numeri del nostro record di profondità e di permanenza in grotta ! Per alcuni saranno modesti, ma per noi, abituati al max a -250 metri e 10 ore, è un bel traguardo.
Eccoci qui a raccontare questa uscita del secondo servizio fotografico alla più importante e bella grotta del Monte Grappa. Se l'altra volta ci eravamo fermati alla base del Pozzo Alessandro, a -250m, in questa uscita ci eravamo prefissati di documentare i due pozzi successivi e la tanto decantata Via del Frastuono che va da -400 a -500.
Gli accordi col "Buba" (Maurizio Mottin), presidente del Gruppo Geo CAI di Bassano, erano che si doveva andare in inverno per trovare la grotta più asciutta possibile. Ma quest'inverno anomalo ha deciso di anticipare il disgelo di un paio di mesi e quindi ci siamo bombati alla grande ed avuto qualche problema nel fare le foto a causa dell'abbondante stillicidio alla base dei pozzi.
Deteminante l'appoggio logistico degli amici di Bassano: ci hanno fatto trovare le tende montate con dentro già i materassini ed i sacchi a pelo. Al campo poi c'erano fornelli, carburante, acqua e cibo. non finiremo mai di ringraziarli per averci fatto scendere senza carichi eccessivi che poi ci avrebbero stroncato dalla fatica.
La dorsale dei Solaroli è quasi senza neve. L'ingresso dello Spaurasso sitrova sopra la balza rocciosa appena sopra le teste di Massimiliano and Damian
We go to 11 on Saturday and we go down without a break of up to -250 (not without making homonym ciappe shake well!) where we leave drink, snack and "bomb" for when we get back. Then we hunt in the maze of Tyrolean (but not even the shadow of beautiful Krauts!) Surprises us with his air passages, more suited to a video recording rather than photos.
arrive over the Patatòn Well, I set groped for a photo from above, but I trusted not to pull out all the equipment, for fear of dropping something, by staying on a pending split. Dovo organize myself better for next time.
walk in the incredible Sassi Bianchi meander that develops a peculiar rock layer that incorporates the incoherent white blocks easily flaked. Geologists, you say?
Meander Sassi Bianchi
The waterfall disappears from under our feet in absolute black and fearful of the Grand Babau, a wonderful Pozzone 60m split into three points.
After five hours, without breaks and with no great hurry, we all regroup at the base to divide us: Maurice and Valerie will go directly to the field to prepare all the stuff for the night, while the PhotoTeam will take a ride up terminal at the show.
abandon all material light field and we go down (except myself!) for the Green and bagnatissima Bissa disarrampicare a 7m jump before the bottleneck that leads into the active branch, preceded by a generous sound of water.
The Long Way of the noise is practically a cave, than seen so far. End of the wells and large rooms and space for an active meander that has carved a great gorge that stretches to pass high range, almost in opposition, with beautiful rooms at the falls. We do it all in one breath to warm up a bit ', deciding to take pictures when you return. After completing the jump, according to Buba, we waited 500m of "convenience" horizontal meander up to the ledge that acts as a balcony to the P50 terminal room that leads into the cave. Here ... of convenience and there was little the end result is more difficult because the line up to that point: conflicts, climbing, low steps, Tyrol. Damiano, the least trained, gives lump sum after about 300m, the Simon continues with me and Max, but we stopped after a series of rather Tyrolean Air: it is pointless to continue, we're too tired to get off the P50 amplifier and is also useless to view from above.
Fatigue makes me want to photograph only the falls, but there would have been to beautiful places that deserve our attention.
Going there completely bathe the Bissa Green recover our things at the base of the Grand Babau c'infiliamo and meandering that leads to the bivouac. There had been described as a short meander strip where "great" in the sand ....... 150 m in length! Did not end more! And then there was the sand every now and our bags weighed more. :-( arrived at the camp, Buba and Valentina welcome us with a nice hot tea, bring a stove inside the tent and soon we find ourselves at a temperature of almost 30 ° C, good for our bones moist. Full replacement and then off to dinner with envelopes, corned beef and salami.
Bivouac at -400: Mauritius, Valentina, Simone, Massimiliano no, Sandro Damiano
threw in the sleeping bags wet and now it's midnight. Few can sleep, and when they do, they are awakened by coughing or pat tactical because it means that he was snoring!
Luckily there were some good clean fleece blankets, otherwise we would have suffered from the cold.
Wake up at 7:45, a little 'reluctantly for some, breakfast, clothing, accommodation and field off to the Great Babau to capture in a photograph as it should.
Unfortunately I could not choose the best location to shoot in the mega-monolith that is 30m high at its base: there was too much dripping and I had to put on the only place where I was raining on me. The shooting technique is to photograph, "to rate" the well, illuminating various areas as the light-men go up, and rearranging everything with Photoshop at home.
The result is truly satisfying! We did a good job.
The P60, Great Babauuuu
Patatòn The Well was a rain everywhere: I've got the same tried using low times and cleaning the water before taking a second goal; decent result but nothing more. And here ends our photographic work, we have to go back calmly and enjoy the beautiful wells that ahead. The
Goduria ceases during and after the passage of the "cleaner", meander in the landslide that is under the de Tremona Ciappe: we leave it completely wet. The
PhotoTeam leave at 17 on Sunday, welcomed by his friend Michele Tommasi who is waiting for three hours under a hazy sky and chilly.
After we changed and met everyone at the Refuge Bassano, we finish in the legendary beauty Trattoria eat.
of this experience there are some things we have been impressed more than others.
Sand! Sand everywhere! We will attack everywhere and you find yourself in the face, mouth, eat, inside a sleeping bag! And as the tools wear! The pulleys of our descenders are worn visibly by the abrasion of the rope and sand.
And then the suffering of not being able to stand up to the field because of the galleries are too low, even where to do it to piss cuciato! :-(
But in the end was a really good experience. Thanks to all comrades in adventure.
