Crossing of the five fingers in Sassolungo

(The 5 fingers. The journey begins on the right.
clearly visible the slender thumb.)

with Ale Yesterday we spent a wonderful day in Langkofel. Our destination was the fifth fingers, a complex of peaks like with an open hand, we wanted to deal with the crossing. After the first two pitches on steep but well plates holds, for an oversight, we were wrong to attack the street leading to the thumb. Then, following a guide with his client (very cute :-) we brought in the notch that separates the thumb from the index and we have addressed the latter climbing, jumping it the first "finger". Patience, good reason to come back.

(I'm on the second shot)

(Ale and the beautiful exposed through the index,
key point of the street.)

(I parked at the end the same ledger)

(At the top of the index: the usual photos)

At the top the index for the normal route, which is frequented by air but rather the solid rock, we continued across to the middle, ring and little fingers. Here the street, which is much less than the normal repeated index, port in a wild, at times almost horrid but very impressive. The difficulties are never more than the third grade, but given the wilderness of the crossing must always pay close attention.

(I beam that avoids the delicate crumbly top of the medium)

(Ale is preparing for a double)

(Ale abseil)

(Between cross and double no time for a little 'relaxation)

With a series stringers delicate double strings and air, we finally brought the range that divides the five fingers from Punta Grohman, from which we fell to the pass seat. After a short break to eat and enjoy a po'sui blocks scattered on the plateau of the pass, it was time to put the seat in the car and head home.
