Wed 19th August, VF Brigata Tridentina


This morning we drove over to Passo Gardena to the next route we planned on one of the classic VF routes in the Dolomites . Despite having made an early start the car park was almost full when we arrived.

The route starts a short distance from the car park and is broken into three sections. The first section is straight forward and finishes between two very large boulders on a balcony above a line of crags. A short walk took us to the foot of a waterfall and the main section of route. The rock was good and it had a number of interesting exposed moves following the line of a waterfall.

The final section is much steeper and strenuous it was also very busy as the other teams on the route had been moving slowly and became bottlenecked on this section. The route finishes with a short bridge across a deep ravine which can be seen from the main road to Corrava. From here it is a short walk to the Refugio.

This is a big long route but very enjoyable.
