Cristallino d’Ampezzo, Italy

by ElHefe

5 hours ascent from Cimabanche pass on northern side. We lost one hour due to bad signs and went to another peak behind Cristallo. There was very crowded upper Dibona via ferrata part, because people took lift to Rifugio Lorenzi (2918m) from south side and climb downhill.




There’s a lot of empty cans, barbed wire and metal parts from first world war, bacause front line was on mountains around Cortina
