Offroute...haha, improvised belay and traverse...


An adventure day out, a long Constantini line on the Pilastro, Tofana di Rozes. Early start, impressive 500m face, runout routefinding mini-epic led to learning some down-climbing and traversing improvisation, sometimes failing but always learning, and a warm glow of satisfaction / knackered by evening 
 

oh o, time to bail!! blue skies quickly change to high winds, dark sky, loud thunder, some lightning ⚡ and sudden down pour,...good job we're on a short one today, funny watching all the other parties abseiling then running down the hill, sharing a smile and a laugh from the excitement and power of nature
