El Perro Negro's Day to Day Ramblings

Dolomites Alta Via 2 day 3

Rifugio Puez to Rifugio Pisciadu

Another tough day of startling contrasts. From the beautiful early morning departure and excellent traverse to the dramatic Cir pinnacles to the crowded mass of noisy humanity at Passo Gardena.

The final 450m climb up the gully (Val Setus) to the refuge was as expected, very gnarly with cables assisting uplift in the upper section. Stunning scenery though.

The Rifugio Pisciadu 2487 metres. Some spectacular mountain scenery behind the hut
