6:50AM - Rifugio Alimonta - 2580 m

Saturday, August 23 – Rifugio Alimonta (Gruppo di Brenta) Next day on Saturday, August 23 I opened my eyes at 6:40AM, and sun already appeared through the mountains. I climb down from my bunk and ventured outside to record this strange moon-like surface that we missed to photograph 4 year ago. After a very dull breakfast and final pay (72€ for food, shower and lodging for two) we started back out at 8AM. We saw a picture like this in our local library.   Now, we found the place.   Notice people on the other side of the ledge. First 4 hours we should be climbing up back to Vie Ferrate, going at…

Lunch Break at Downtown Molveno I

Wednesday, August 20 – From Cortina d’Ampezzo to Barbian Next morning on Wednesday, August 20 we were in no hurry to leave. We soaked in the hot tub and took it slow. With great difficulties we found an obscure road toward our new destination – Bolzano.  Apparently local people very rarely venture out that far outside the city limits.  Lira suggested to look for signs not a distant large city, but a sign to local nearby villages in desired direction.  And that trick worked. We started climbing up to the mountains, and this time I handled small ASTRA engine much better.  The whole trick was to switch to manual shift on steep…
