great day, Friday, April 16, 2010! With the legendary Mauro Pini (AE and AEI CAI Bologna) and Mauro Venturoli (AE-west of Bologna CAI) Osteria del Barone soared - to about 900 m at the location Gabel (RE) under the Passo del Cerreto - Mount Casarola (1979 m) and the Alpe di Succiso (2017 m). Sources from Capiola on, at an altitude of 1300 m, has made its appearance, the snow, spring and almost grainy at higher altitudes. We dealt with firmly, catching up on the ridge view east of Casarola almost to maximum slope - and often sinking up to my hips - a long strip of land bare and then a series of rocks not led us to the summit of Casarola. Here and throughout the air ridge leading to the Alpe di Succiso we expected a hard, compact snow, almost winter, requiring crampons and ice axes, considering also the almost constant exposure of the ridge itself. Great satisfaction when you get to the summit, "seasoned" by a frugal meal, a coil of sun and a breathtaking 360 °, including the views of the Gulf of La Spezia in full view of the cape and the islands of Palmaria, Porto Venere and Tino. 
In contrast to the, we went up to the Sources of Capiola first drawing the CAI 667 and the north ridge of Casarola, and then abandoning the path, and zigzag through canyons and forests of beech flattened by the avalanche - but always keeping an eye on the consistency of the snow and avoiding some obvious and unstable accumulations of snow flurry. So we caught the first signs of awakening Marmot: blackish earth stirred fresh and circular holes in the snow in spring. The return to the valley was "greeted" by the first drops of rain from a thunderstorm during the descent, we had already warned of his arrival from nearby Parma.
And we said a voice, but instead why so many numb with alcohol and various drugs do not feel the thrill of the mountains as we did? Giovanni Mazzanti
