Italy -5: Col Rodella / Dolomites

Today was looking a bit better and we coud make a nice flight; but nothing special for here...
Again (as yesterday) shortly after noon the winds started switching and I descended to the lower SW TO.
Jimmy Parcher had 'promised' that cloud base would rise to Marmolada level (or even higher) - but it turned out otherwise. Still it was possible to cross from Belvedere into the South face of the Marmolada and fly towards the peak - but I turned around before (shortly after the pix further down was made).

Main TO: Pano looking east (Center: Sass Pordoi)

Pano near Langkofel (looking East): Sella Towers, Sass Pordoi, Marmolada)

Marmolada (South face)

As yesterday, we had again dinner in company with Masahiro Kishi's group of Japanese pilots, a very relaxing 'affair' with lots of laughter - thanks for having us and being so generous!
