 A bit of route finding blunder when trying to locate the triple cracks. We initially started up Via Erma. Thankfully there's a bolt/mallion to escape back down.

The team ahead of us on pitch 5  Fiona leading pitch 5 keeping a good distance behind the party ahead.  Mike on pitch 6  Pitch 6  Mike seconding pitch 7  Waiting for the belay to clear at the top of pitch 7  Mike at the top of pitch 8 looking down on Fiona below who has briefly emerged from the cave  Fiona leading the final proper pitch, the last pitch is just a scramble to the path  The view from the walk off with Piz Pordoi in the centre  Piz Pordoi again  The walk off  A few sections with cable that aren't really designed for tall folks  The first abseil  Mike abseilling
