Punta Col de Varda, Misurina
Nobody told Bernie it was an abseil descent!! Bernie does a nice pitch, high on Punta Col de Varda. End of a perfect Dolomite day, Cinque Torre. What more can you say….??

Shepherds Crag – Ardus
Well, Pete & Tish were away so Terry went to play in Borrowdale and bumped into Keith and Fiona, following them up ‘Ardus’ (which is Latin for ‘gets harder every time you do it!!) Almost a summer day on Shepherds, except for the caf being closed. Opens 1 April.
