Rock on the Falzarego Tower was "as good as" CoR, but overall...no. Almost every ledge had some "loose stuff," and careful rope management was the order of the day.

Too bad I got old when I wasn't looking!


You're looking real good, Rodger! Many more climbing days for you.

and finish off with Torre Grande, West Summit via della Guida.

First alpine climb I ever did, only following my mentor. I was scared shitless at times, but it eased the higher we got up. (It's only 5 pitches, but for someone who had done only single-pitch before thats quite enough)

Nice flat summit with incredible views of the surrounding mountains like the huge wall of the Tofane.

Just for you, here's a picture I took of a party on the Torre Grande, via della Guida (Bergfuehrer Route), W. Summit.


The route is 5 leads long...about 435 feet of climbing; UIAA Gr. IV+ (5.6).
