I've missed the Dolomites the past 2 years, and have hopes for 2017! I still have some awesome plans!

Thanks Stefano, again. Did that full Alvera-Pompanin arête at left years ago which your routes joins for the last few pitches. Very enjoyable.

You are definitely one of the 5-star posters around here when it comes to cool climbing trips.

ehy,

if you guys happen to drop a visit in the "Area" just make ma aware of it... will be more than happy to give you a couple of square feet to crash a sleeping bag, some evening wine and a belay bunny ;-)

i might as well be in US in July 2017 (San Francisco/Yosemite) and in Autumn 2017 (Red Rocks revival with Monti?)
