Ascent history
Shortly after the death of Quintino Sella on March 14, 1884, the CAI decided to name the still unnamed summit after him. A bronze plaque was made with the inscription A Quintino Sella la SAT 1884 (the Società degli Alpinisti Tridentini has been a section of the CAI since 1920). The group of the first to climb started on July 9, 1884 at 5 a.m. in Madonna di Campiglio, first crossed the Monte Spinale , the Grosté , the Vallesinella Glacier and reached the summit at 11 a.m. Karl Schulz quotes from the Annuari [...] Tridentini, 1883/84 : A violent snowstorm forced the party to refrain from attaching the board and to leave the top again after only 5 minutes. [...] On the way to Massodi, they lost their way in the rock labyrinth and only reached the Tosahütte at 8 o'clock . The bronze plaque could only be attached to the summit on the second ascent on August 9th.
