Ascending 'La Mulatica,' a classic route often graded D, is a journey into the heart of alpine tradition. From the pre-dawn start, with the crisp mountain air biting at our cheeks, the anticipation was palpable. The route itself proved to be a magnificent dance with the rock: sustained climbing, sometimes delicate on small holds, sometimes powerful through chimneys or cracks. Exposure was a constant companion, especially on the airy traverses where the world seemed to fall away beneath our feet. Route-finding, a critical skill on such a historic line, added an intellectual layer to the physical exertion. Every pitch offered new challenges and breathtaking vistas. Reaching the summit, after hours of focused effort, was an unparalleled moment of triumph – a panoramic reward for every strenuous move and every exposed step. 'La Mulatica' isn't just a climb; it's an immersive experience that leaves you with tired muscles, a clear mind, and an indelible memory of mountain grandeur.
