Climbing
The mountain is a serious climb, and it is essential to bring full climbing equipment. Pitons line the main routes. The normal route starts at the Sella Pass, at about 2,200m above sea level. Paul Grohmann was the first to reach the summit in 1869.[2]

gollark: Now it half-works but only uses a small section of the terminal and doesn't do colors.
gollark: Er, that doesn't sound like it would be helpful.
gollark: The answer is probably to have a pty of the right size, or somehow pass it to it.
