stupid me - no idea. Somewhere in the Dolomites? A major rocklimbing spot?

no, not in Dolomites, but a very fine rock climbing spot, very little known :(

no, in an area very popular for "big-long" hiking (in the Alps, of course), well known by Deutsch hikers (I found there many)

These two summits are so... defensive. Long hikes for sure, not for "fagnani!"

Fagnano means lazy in the local dialect. I lived not far from there for three years back in the seventies.

this is a range I know very little ... had always in my mind to go and climb there but all I've been able to do (recently) was a simple (not long) hike :(
Maybe you can support me improving the page ... :)

That would be a case of the blind leading the one-eyed, I'm afraid. I still have a collection of 120 maps of itineraries in the province, but that's it. No pictures and surprisingly few memories. In those three years, I went more often to the Dolomites than to the local mountains. Of course, now I regret it, but it's a bit too late.

dolomia is, doubtless, better than quarzite (new clue) ...
nemo propheta in patria sounds true also for mountains :)
