Thank you for the post. Visited Cortina when I was 27 and have always wanted to go back to spend more time.
Welcome to the taco!

Fred's climb was on the Cinque Torre I think,
We did a route there a couple of years ago.

Blakey-
Re: your picture in the Cinque Torri; not Torre Barancio. Left to Right: Torre Inglesi, the trapezoidal formation in center is Torre Quarta Alta, and the on the extreme right partly obscured by boulders is Torre Latina.
I spent several days either climbing or photographing/exploring there this past September.

Some great photos.
I climbed near Arco back in 2005 with two German friends. The route I remember was a 400 meter, 5.8 or so, called Placche Zebrate below Monte Brento. The mountain continued up another 1000 meters past where the route topped out. A couple of guys in squirrel suites flew over us from the top...first time I ever saw that. Lost the photos I had to a destroyed computer, but Italy was great and I would love to go back.

Plache zebrata is not a route but the name of the slabs. I climed a route named 46th Parallelo this past September, which is right next to Via Trento (5.8).

Since I recently upgraded my satellite link, I'm now able to upload some additional photos of this magical realm of the Dolomites!

Cool thread, beautiful place. My wife and I hope to get back there in a year or 2.
Plattekofel and Langkofel (right to left) in the last photo if I remember right. Picture taken from within the natural park to the west.

Here's an interesting view of the Piz Pordoi and the Seilbahn (Cable car) which provides access to the summit; it also provides access to the parking lot after an ascent of the "Mariakante," "Grosskante," and "Pederiva Kamin." It sure beats walking down with the concomitant destruction of cartilage in the knees.
The photo below shows why my climbing trip was somewhat truncated this past Fall...
After this, there was no more climbing on the high summits for a while, and my journey was winding down.
