Cinque Torre
Impressive towers with a vast range of traditional and bolted routes. Alas the stormy weather didn't let us fully explore the crags

 The Cinque Torre as viewed from the Averau Hut first thing  Heading for the climbs  Cool cloud capped mountain  Cinque Torre first thing in the morning. We're planning to climb the first route we find without a queue of people!  Looking back uphill to Mount Averau  Getting closer...  Looking towards the Falzarego Pass and Lagazoi Cable car  Just a few minutes from the main tower (Torre Grande) now  Torre Grande getting closer  Fiona on pitch 1 of Via Del Guide  Further up pitch 1  Further up the tower  Check the route description re. descent and location of abseil points. It's starting to look a bit minging in the distance again...  Other climbers  View from the top of the route  Abseiling  Abseiling  Interesting abseil stake!  We opted for the rings further on to the left  Abseil rings  The clag rolls in again... Mike abseiling from the top of the tower  Shrouded in cloud once again and the rain has returned
