"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Untitled CommentA nearby powerplant? Luckily there aren't any in the area. It's a strange ridge for sure - lots of different kinds of rock - right there in the middle of the Dolomites...
Thanks for your kind vote!

Untitled CommentGreat page. Seems like obscure peaks are the only ones left to add to SP but that is a good thing!!!

Untitled CommentThanks Nader! There are quite some well known peaks left but there are only few people who have climbed them. Less who would write about them. And none of these are SP-members.

Untitled CommentI'm one of the many who have gone through Passo San Pellegrino (more than once) without paying too much attention to Punta Allochet. Fortunately, the legacy of famed German XIX century scholarship survives in you. Any idea on the origin of the name? Some very nice pictures, in spite of the haze.
My usual proofreading report:
Monzonie -> Monzoni
punta allochet -> Punta Allochet

Untitled CommentThanks Fabio! I'm afraid I don't have anything to say about the name. To me it sounds more Italian than Ladinian but Gabriele would probably prove me wrong. I have no idea...

Untitled CommentSurprising place...! I never paid attention to such a place/name. I'll try to tell you more. Nevertheless, the job is "Gangolf made" as usual...:)))

Untitled CommentThanks Claude, also for the try for a name explanation. I'm not sure if these plants were there. I googled them and nothing I saw resembles those :-(

Untitled Comment..it seems that you like my region:)))))))
well done Gangolf:)

Untitled CommentYes, Tiziana, I like the Dolomites and everything around. I was at Falcade in July and did a lot of hikes during the 20 days I was there. I didn't make it to Lagorai, though. Too far away and too many interesting mountains nearby.
Maybe next year....
