All 5 of Valmadrera village of Lecco, in fact. A great way - just as those who venture to the great north west of the Owl can be. A line that insinuates itself between the traditional ways of the "Dihedral-Philipp Flamm," and the "Way of Friends" opened by Reinhold Messner, Heini Holzer, Sepp Mayerl and Renato Royal in 1967. A line that, not surprisingly, has very few repetitions. That of John Ruskin, Gianbattista Crimella, Paolo Crippa Butti and Moses in the summer of 1983. Then that of Moretto and Claudio Buffa Rosy was succeeded in 2003 the first solo by Nico Rizzotto in 2004.
