I remember looking at it those times we'd drive over Sella Pass (that is when it and its larger neighbors were not socked in the clouds...). Great write up & photos!
Appreciated! Those three (Grohmannspitze, Fuenffinger, and Langkofel) are such storybook mountains rising above the meadow. Now the position is reversed: this summer I want to go climb the routes you guys did last summer!
This was on our list of climbs to do on our first trip to the Dolomites. We never got that far, but now, after reading your trip report, maybe it was a good thing as we were climbing off the couch. Thanks for the detailed description at the end of the trip report. This route is now back on the list for our second trip to the Dolomites. Awesome pics and description.
Thanks Darin. Hey, looks like you are a fellow ex-cascadian in europe! That mountain you have a picture of, Stetind, looks amazing. Thanks for writing!
