	Hasn't voted	Thank you, Charles. Yes, although perhaps very pronounced here, the Dolomites are famous for such contrasts, that are further enhanced by the colour of the rocks.

	Hasn't voted	I feel with you, but I see that one of the peaks you climbed was the Paternkofel, and that you took some good photos from it. We climbed it in 1996, but from the Forcella Lavaredo. A very nice peak. Cheers, Ejnar

	Ejnar Fjerdingstad	Re: really
	Hasn't voted	Thank you very much. The climbs go from a rather easy ferrata up the south ridge (not seen here), to a north face (on the left) route pioneered by Messner.

This makes me wish I lived somewhere closer. I think I'm going to have to find a nice spot of grass today for a nap! Thanks for posting!

	Hasn't voted	Thank you for the comment! Yes, that would be an ideal place for a nap, the Dolomites are like a dream anyway.

fantastic!

Park-like greens! I would like to try via ferrata one day. Messner cut his teeth on these mountains, did he not?

	Ejnar Fjerdingstad	Re: fantastic!
	Hasn't voted	Thank you for the kind comment. The ferrata on Peitlerkofel is among the easier ones. As far as I understand, Messner's first mountain was Sass Rigais, a little more to the south, which he climbed at the age of 5 years with his father (he was born at he foot of it).
