Farmhouse and cows below the Tre Cime.<br>

We were in a surreal world after completing a 12-pitch climb: a cow pasture with imposing views of the Tre Cime de Lavaredo, with swirling clouds in the aftermath of a late-afternoon thunderstorm.

Tre Cime de Lavaredo after a storm.<br>
<br>
It started raining on us eight pitches up Spitagoras, a 12-pitch 10a route.<br>
<br>
We were rewarded with this view of the Tre Cime after we topped out.

Cima della Madonna in the Pala Group, with swirling clouds characteristic of that area.

The 5.8 Delago route ascends the left skyline arete of the Delago Tower. This is one of the classic routes in the Dolomites.

A great 12-pitch 5.8 route, the Mariakante, starts on the sunlit face on the left of the photo. The last pitch takes you to the summit, where a tram station, restaurant, hotel, and gift shop await. A three-euro tram ride gets you back down in 5 minutes!

San Martino di Castrozza in the early morning (1963).

Cinque Torri (Five Towers). <br>
<br>
This is the primary cragging area near Cortina. Easy access with many one-to-four-pitch moderate climbs.
