#7 - Laura Donazzan - PHYSIOTHERAPIST AND OSTEOPATIST, MOUNTAIN PASSIONATE
LAURA – Physiotherapist and Osteopath, born and lived in the mountains, since she was a child she frequented the Pale di San Martino and the Vette Feltrine, as she grew up the desire to explore the mountains and reach higher and higher also grew, hence the passion for climbing, ski mountaineering and ice, together with the desire to discover even more distant peaks.
I tried the Rocks between the Belluno Dolomites and the Pale di San Martino, my home mountains. In the first exit on the Sassolungo di Cibiana, the summit of which requires a climb up to grade II, with a beautiful step that emerges from a stuck boulder. Here the Rock demonstrated excellent grip and precision , thanks to the precise climbing lace which closes the toe better. Even on the return in the traverse passages on ledges and gravel, their grip gave me confidence.
Together with the Rock I then reached the base of the Pradidali bell tower: an approach of around 1200 meters between woods and rock in which the comfort of the footwear and good waterproofness were fundamental to better face the subsequent climb. The grip of the sole allowed me to descend safely from the summit: The sole, not too rigid and well cushioned , helped me lighten the fatigue of 12 hours spent in the environment, leaving me the possibility of letting go of my legs on the descent, even on the screes where the grip is good and the physical response stress is never excessive.
