Hello Andres, be careful that in the mountains there are wolves, bad wolves and feroses. There my friend died little riding. The wolf was called ZUNI

Hi, James
I personally don't know the answers to your questions, but perhaps I'll ask my mother the next time I talk with her. She should know the answers to some of your questions, at least.

Also to the previous message, I don't know if they went back to their Italian names or not, but other family stories said they were known as locally as Joeseph & Josephine around the town. The tiffs mentioned before were between these two, but that's another family story.

Very interesting pictures. I have a few questions I hope you could provide answers for.
The Avellino Cemetery, is this the only one?
It looks very modern so how far back do burials go?
Are there records available of who is buried in the cemetery or who can I contact that would provide a listing?
My questions refer to my research of locating where my great grandfather is buried. He being born in Sicily as Giuseppe Bonfiglio, immigrating to the US (1889) and changing his name to Joseph Bonfils, retiring and returning to Italy sometime after 1910, supposedly to Avellino, as family stories are told. He was born in 1851 so even if he lived into his 80's that would put his passing away in the 1930's, but I don't know for sure. He married Giuseppa Trovatella Cassiglio, in Sicily, she later changed her name to Josephine or Josephina Bonfils. There were family tiffs, so she may or may not be buried close by.
So if you could point me in the right direction on this subject, I would be most appreciative.

Good to see someone who has enjoyed the dolomites! I found your web site by pure chance, but this will be the 30th anniversary of climbing and walking in this fantsastic mountain range. Perhaps sometime we will get to meet up there. Needless to say when I first went it wasn't full of tourists and sudo guides who think they know all the good places, keep exploring and enjoying.
Kind regards

Unless the snow is very hard, there is no help having crampons on.
Stopping a crevasse fall is instead a matter of properly doing a self-arrest in the snow (with your ice ax and with proper technique).
The route we went up involved relatively low crevasse danger.

Excause for my bothering You :(
What about crevases there (You wrote, that You went without crampons, so - would You be able to stop a fall without crampons)?

Hi there
I'm not sure about where to rent mountaineering equipment. We brought our own gear with us. I get the impression that some local mountain stores might rent you some gear. I'm not sure, though.

Hi!
Thanks again!
Still one more question - was there a place where to rent crampons and axes for 2 days?
