Mammarosa Rifugio (1637m) according to the rumours.

Why do they never go all up like initially planned in 2009!?

Don't know, but it's not necessary for Blockhaus to be a good MTF if you climb from Roccamorice.

I hope it's unipuerto

Since when you're campaigning for "A bit lighter is still good enough"

Do I need to worry that you'll start drinking Heineken!?

For logistical reasons and for a faster evacuation of the area they say. If I remember well only in the 60s and in the 70s they arrived over 2000. In the 21th century they always arrived in Mammarosa, i don't know why they don't take into account Rifugio Pomilio almost 4km above Mammarosa. Anyway in the past they have presented arrivals logistically more complicated like the centre of Assisi Plan de corones or Gardeccia.

They only canceled the arrival on top for storm in 2009 if I remember correctly. So it's indeed a bit weird. Especially considering the option you just mentioned!
