Senterio Astaldi Ferrata
A short walk/ferrata snuck in between the showers

 Looking south  Lookinng NNW towards Forcella Fontana  Tofana di Rozes  Cinque Torre in the distance  Lots of different layers in the rock. The mineral content is what controls the colours  The Ferrata goes past all these brightly coloured cliff.  Lots of iron rich rock (red) with bands of shale (grey) at the top left  Walking along the path. Mike opted not to bother with Ferrata kit as it's just a walk with a cable. I took mine but only used the helmet to avoid bumping myself off the low sections  A curious chamois that kept watching us  Getting closerm doesn't seem remotely bothered by us  About to show off the crazy gradient he/she can cope with  We opted not to follow as the chamois descended down loose scree/rubble  Proabably the only section that's not walking. A short wooden ladder to get up one of the looser sections  Cinque Torre again  On the path  Looking back along the ferrata to Tofana di Rozes
