Siamo al cospetto della tetra parete Orientale del pizzo del Diavolo di Tenda e ad un passo dalle maggiori elevazioni delle Orobie, quelle montagne che superano i 3000 m. e che conservano tra i loro anfratti ancora qualche piccolo apparato glaciale.
Is there a technical term for this or is it something like "fourth face"? Thanks.
