We have been very busy since I last posted, Melloblocco was brilliant, such a good atmosphere. By the time Andrea and Steven arrived, the
A classy Swig
Val di Mello
weather was on the mend, we walked up to Val de Mello
Andrea’s mean side
and explored the next valley over Val Malenco, enjoyed the thickest hot chocolates known and had more than one too many drinks at the local Kundaluna bar. Never thought a Mojito could get any better, and then boom! bagged ourselves a free black diamond headtorch, by being within the 1st 100 to purchase drinks that evening. We finished Melloblocco in style/drunken blur at the La Sportiva party. It started with a treat meal courtesy of Andrea and Steven and ending with exhausted/badly bruised legs from dancing/bench climbing, a bust lip from the formation of an unexpected reggae mosh pit and four bad heads the morning after.
We will be heading back to Mello to meet more friends at the end of May, more climbing, less drinking next time round.
