Cortina - Day 7

Through the world I safely go...

My Dad's still growing up - but it's all GOOD.

A Via Feratta in the fog. So awesome.

Thanks Dad!

Cortina - Day 6

Marianna and Anna - I love them, they are so nice to me.

This is the same spot in Canazei that my Dad and Marshall have a picture.

Of course old castles. Anything with tunnels, caves, and new discoveries around the corners.

Entrance to the Pordoi/Italian war memorial.

Marianna can see that Dora is real, obviously.

Cortina - Day 5

When I got up this morning I said, "no church, no hike, yes food." We took a nice road trip to a place my Dad had climbed in 1976, 2004, & 2008.

Who is that orb? Is that you Grandpa Miller?

Rifugio Auronzo and the world famous Tre Cima Di Lavaredo mountain group.

Look! A heart rock from the Dolomites.

See the little dog in the middle?

OK...we all know what this is...and yes, I'm smiling really big.

Cortina - Day 4 1 of 2, Via Feratta attempt

Seriously Dad? Did you ever notice anything a little different about me?

Pay no attention to the angle of the mountains on the left....Mom likes to exaggerate.

It's ALL good.

This is the ride up on the chair lift. Blissfully unaware of what lies ahead.

Cortina - Day 4 2 of 2

Just doing my job here; Observing. My Dad is near the top of Cima Ovest (biggest block on the right) via the guide route. Tiny speck of orange if you have great eyes.
I had thought the luckiest sheep on the planet were in Almo, Idaho....but these sheep may beat them out of top spot. The bells they wore sounded so pretty and I could have watched the 2 sheep dogs do their work all day. Amazing.

Where to next? The sky's the limit.

Cortina - Day 3, Sassolungo (part 1 of 2)

This is the top of the pass. Me and Mom just had lunch in the hut and we are watching and waiting for Dad to do a climb.
This is the view to the south. The hill in the middle is where the paragliders take off and there were several out today because the weather was beautiful.

This is the view to the west - Seiser Alm.

This is me doing my main assignment. Observing. I could tell you a thing or two. :)
