aussie69 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Tickets to Italy right now are dirt cheap and real hard to pass up. Anyhow putting the feelers out for partners AND beta on the routes up there. ~cheers~ Austin S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrangTu Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Austin, I had a fabulous time there in 2002, for a week. My friend and I took the train and bus from Venice, and came in through Cortina. We did room & board at a couple of the mountain "huts" (they're cushy for huts!). The routes I recall doing were the Hexenstein, one of the Lagazuois, a 3rd I don't recall, and a day of single-pitch. Great moderate multi fun. Trang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrangTu Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ok, I just looked up my journal notes. Here's some more beta: Day 1 we messed around at Cinque Torre Grande, a good warm up area. 5 minutes hike from the hut. There's a moderate 4-pitch climb and good singles. The next day we did another multi-pitch on Torre Grande West Summit, called Via Delle Guide. We also got on Piccolo Lagazuoi but rapped down after 3 pitches due to weather. Another great multi was the 6-pitch Torre Piccolo on Falzarego Towers. The Hexenstein I mentioned earlier is 6 pitches. The single pitches we did on the last day are at the base of the Hexenstein. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
