The Monte Pasquale (German: Osterberg ) is a 3553 meter high summit in the northern part of the Cevedale-Vioz ridge , a mountain range of the Ortler Alps , a mountain range in the southern Eastern Alps , running south from the Suldenspitze over the Monte Cevedale to the Gaviapass . The mountain is located in the Italian province of Sondrio in the Stilfserjoch National Park . The one with firnThe covered rounded summit looks like an evenly shaped dome from the north. It sends pronounced ridges to the east, south-west and north-west. In winter, Monte Pasquale is a popular ski tour destination , which can be easily reached from the Rifugio Luigi E. Pizzini ( Pizzini Hut ) or the Rifugio Gianni Casati ( Casati Hut ) . The first documented ascent of Monte Pasquale took place on July 26, 1889 as part of a crossing to the neighboring Monte Cevedale, the third highest mountain in the Ortler Alps, by the Milanese lawyer and photographer Giacomo Cavaleri, together with the mountain guides Battista Confortola and Filippo Cola.
Surroundings
The Monte Pasquale is completely surrounded by glaciers . In the north are the Vedretta di Cedèc and del Pasquale , in the south the Vedretta del Rosole . The most important mountain in the east, separated by the Col Pasquale at an altitude of 3423 meters, is Monte Cevedale, a good one kilometer away, with a height of 3769 meters. To the west, the terrain slopes down to the Valle di Cedèc . The closest town is the winter sports resort of Santa Caterina Valfurva, around nine kilometers as the crow flies in the southwest . The South Tyrolean Sulden (Solda) is about 10 kilometers to the north.
Base and ascent
The way of Cavaleri, Confortola and Cola in 1887 led from the Boita Bonetti del Forno , a dairy hut near today's Albergo Ghiacciaio dei Forni , in the upper Valle dei Forni , at an altitude of 2389 meters, over the southwest ridge to the summit. You then descended to Col Pasquale and continued the tour over the Cevedale west ridge. The first woman on Monte Pasquale was Maria Rognoni-Peduzzi from Milan in the summer of 1891.
Today's normal route to the summit leads over the east ridge . The base is the Rifugio Gianni Casati, located in the uppermost Cedectal at 3254 meters above sea level. The path runs as an alpine tour , only to be done with appropriate equipment and glacier experience, initially in a south-easterly direction over the Zufallferner ( Vedretta del Cevedale ) to Col Pasquale. From here the summit can be easily reached via the east ridge. According to the literature, the walking time is less than 2 hours. Serious climbing and combined routes (ice / rock) have been leading through the north-west face (500 meters in altitude , ice inclination 40 to 50 °) since 1945 , through the right north-west face since 1989 (combined ice 55 °, rock with difficulty level UIAA IV ) and since 1981 through the North-northeast face (combined ice 50 °, climbing UIAA IV +).
