Thanks you very much, Vid!I've taken your advice and posted this route page, although they are not so frequently read and estimated.
Best wishes, Andrej
Now Monte Agnèr page it's really one of the best among the Dolomites pages on SP, congratulations for your great job!
I agree with you when you say that sometimes vie ferrate are quite useless and bring people that don't respect mountains in wild places, but I don't think this the case of "Stella Alpina".
Ciao, Fabrizio
OK, Fabrizio. Frankly speaking, I agree with you regarding ferrata Stella Alpina. I had to criticize a bit this kind of alpine routes, although the Stella Alpina is certainly an exception among them. I surely enjoyed to climb it some years ago. Concerning so called sporting ferratas, I estimate the situation in the Dolomites as quite normal. Otherwise, in Austria for instance, there is a real hysteria about these routes. Only in the close vicinity of Dachstein, there are seven (!) forcibly traced ferratas, completely superfluous and entirely ludicruous.
Ciao and thanks for voting, Andrej
A very good description, Andrej. There are one or two slight errors, e.g. you write "begginers". I have always wondered about this route and since I don't have the strength myself I would have liked to see photos of and from it. But probably people are too busy to shoot photos when climbing the ferrata. Too bad!
Thank you, Gangolf, "begginers" have been corrected immediately. It's bad, but I am completely untalented for photography, so my pages depend on the other's assistance and collaboration. This failure is more pronounced in the route descriptions, than in mountain ones.
Best regards, Andrej

Exceptional!This is an exceptional route description, with many words of wisdom in it. So, the great Monte Agnèr page gets more and more complete.
