Monte Disgrazia
Monte Disgrazia ('Mount Disgrace'; adapting Lombard: Mont Des'giascia, lit. 'Mount Defrost'; 3,678 m) is a mountain in the Bregaglia range in the Italian Alps. It is the highest peak in the Val Masino group, situated south of the Bernina Range.
It has five glaciers and five wild ridges and is a demanding climb.
The first ascent was by Leslie Stephen, E. S. Kennedy and Thomas Cox with guide Melchior Anderegg on 23 August 1862. Their route over the Preda Rossa glacier and the northwest ridge is the easiest one and has remained the normal climbing route.
