Bella Marmolada!

A tipical character of this mountain is the contrast of south and north, I had the opportunity to climb it from both sides. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you safe climbs!

Re: Bella Marmolada!

You're very welcome István,
That's great, I still have to climb the highest peak, Punta Penia. Back in 2011 we made an attempt along the Westgrat Via Ferrata, but we had to turn back at 3000m because there was too much snow. Hopefully I can come back soon :-)
Happy Climbing to you!
