Monday September 12th- Day 11

 Rifugio Treviso to Passo Cereda

A relatively short day (but finishing with a long descent)- girding our loins for the final two big days.

A better view of where we'd come from on Sunday with the descent through the forests


Ascending past a very clear "Cloud Base"

Looking over to Punta Caldrolon. We crossed Forcella d'Oltro, just to its south (right, on this photo)

Path in foreground, destination: the valley, as ever

A rock formation above us had a hole in it, visible in the shadow on the slopes opposite

Mountain range providing barrier to clouds

Traverse continues...

...and still continues


Masses of pinnacles ahead



Descent through the pinnacles

One of the occasional "Rock Follies"

Final stages of the descent was through trees, compensated by the views

The approach to the rifugio was uphill, which felt a little unfair
