Amazing #climbing feat by Belgian climber Anak Verhoeven: she's the fourth woman in the world to climb a 9b route. The hardest grade ever climbed by women.

More #hiking fun in the #Dolomites. I'm having a blast. The goal of this hike was #PassoSantner, via #RifugioPreuss, #RifugioReAlberto1 and the magnificent #Vajolet towers.
Downside of all this beauty is that a lot of people had the same idea, leading to busy trails (see last image).

Looking back at Rifugio Re Alberto 1, with the Vajolet towers behind it. The rifugio is sided by ragged mountain peaks; a hiking path crosses the scree slope at the bottom of one side of the peaks.
Rifugio Santner, at 2734m altitude. A metal triangular prism lying on its side with a terrace overlooking the chasm in front of it. A cloud rises up the cliff side.
Lots of hikers on the trail down from Rifugio Alberto 1 to Rifugio Vajolet, visible down in the distance. A traffic jam composed of hikers.

Some pictures from yesterday's fantastic #hiking in the #dolomites. This time in the #PuezGeisler or #PuezOdle park. More details in the 'Alt' descriptions.

Looking back to the start of the hike (the Seceda lift) from high up. A nice view of the Odle/Geisler mountain group with rivers of scree flowing down from them.
Looking back at the trail, crossing a sloping mountain side under jagged peaks.
The hike's destination: the Piz Duleda, looking over the green valley deep down below.
