I dont know if this has been posted yet, but 'Campanile di Val Montanaia'-- this is a pretty solid climb from what I have heard, approach is a little up hill, but you have a rifugio at the bottom or a 'tin box' bivouac at the base- Rif. Pordenone,guy speaks good english and the wine is cheap. Its in Friuli and maybe an hour to 45 min drive from Cortina if you stay on SS51.
www.summitpost.org/campanile-di-val-montanaia/153167
If you dont feel like taking a bunch of gear, they have tons of via ferrata in the area- i suggest Tofanna di Rozes, thats a good 5-7 hour climb through WWI tunnels and wraps out around 10,8ft. Its a loop climb/hike and you can stay at a high alt rifugio just on the other side of the summit- again, wine is cheaper than water.

Have fun man, me and my hottie miss it everyday.
Add on- go in July, August is when all the I-ties are on the month long vacation, or head out in Sept, rifugios will close down mid sept.
And.... could always traipse on over to the Matterhorn, awesome climb, but damn it if doesn't have a tad bit of exposure and scary loose rock.

the route is pretty steep, but mostly I'm not done jacking my right foot up or bumping my right hand. The picture is in the middle of the move, and the rope falls into the right place, between my legs, as soon as I stand up. |

| And to all you haters out there, if you are lucky enough during this lifetime to meet someone who after 25 years still puts the wag in your tail then you will understand why some of us like to celebrate that person. My smokin wife is flattered by me posting this thread with this title. If I had just posted as going to Italy would not have recieved the feedback I did.
Ryan, thanks for the hijack! I was secretly hoping that would happen and that I would still get info on italy. Nice! |

For Sure! If more MP'ers realized how much fun it is watching fine women thrash it out during a bout while drinkin good beer they would be there. Tons of fun. |

Put it anyway so what she is not that hot she probably has inner beauty. Before u put it ask her if she likes that pic and if it's OK to post it. Nice to see all the ladies enjoying climbing with you all. After all u are not a bunch of lonely bitter guys bashing females. And Jake buy her a massage treatment too.....just because! |

Perfect time to hit Finale Ligure!
Corsica, just north of Sardinia, I'd highly recommend. Granite. Tafoni! Amazing rock climbing, and, great scenery. |

+100! and very few people! You will need a car though. If you go from France there is also great climbing in Les Calenques near where the ferry takes off from.

| Nice James! In that spirit, I only have a few pictures of my ex-wife Marketa climbing to post. She's still hot, too. We are still pretty close, though she moved back to the Czech Republic.
This was from the summit of The Slab in the Flatirons.
