    Monte Cusna (2120 m) – Ascent from Sasso del Morto
    Monte Cusna, also called "Il Gigante," is the second-highest peak in the Reggio Emilia Apennines at 2120 m. The starting point was the striking Sasso del Morto rock (2078 m), from which two ascent options lead to the summit:


    Easy route: A gentler ascent along the ridge, not technically demanding but very exposed in windy conditions.

    Difficult route: A steep, rocky ascent directly along the ridge, significantly more challenging, requiring surefootedness and concentration.

    The weather conditions made the tour extremely challenging: strong winds, thick fog with barely ten meters of visibility, and temperatures sometimes below freezing, making the ground slippery and difficult to navigate.

    Despite the adverse conditions, the summit of Monte Cusna offered an impressive atmosphere – mysterious, rugged, and wild.
