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.

Farmhouse and cows below the Tre Cime.<br> <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.
Vajolet Towers and the Gartl Hut. <br> <br> From left to right: The Delago Tower, the Stabeler Tower, and the Winkler Tower.<br> <br> The 5.8 Delago route ascends the left skyline arete of the Delago Tower. This is one of the classic routes in the Dolomites.
Sass Pordoi. <br> <br> 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!
Cinque Torri (Five Towers). <br> <br> This is the primary cragging area near Cortina. Easy access with many one-to-four-pitch moderate climbs.

This Via Ferrata had a new bridge as well.

The base area at the Sass Pordoi tram.<br> <br> We hiked up for an hour, did a 12-pitch rock climb to the summit, had lunch at the summit restaurant, and rode the tram back down.
