Luis Trenker was a real pioneer of Dolomite rock climbing, and an extremely popular route on the 1st Sella Tower is the "Trenkerriss," or Trenker Crack. It's still rated as either a very slippery and insecure 5.7, or more realistically, a 5.8.
Trenker resided in the village of Wolkenstein, or Selva after becoming part of Italy after W.W. I. By the way--I have visited Wolkenstein each of the past 2 years, and it's a great climbing base.

Three photos of the Trenker Crack, mentioned by Brokendown climber. I did this back in the 70s, then about three years ago with my wife Bronwen and son Tim.
Bronwen forgot her rock shoes and had to do it in her trainers, exciting given the polish.
Tim romped up the going up, but walking from the base on the narrow tracks, his somewhat cavalier attitude was heart stopping!

We did the Steger on the First Sella Tower...I'd like to get back there and do the Trenker...those pic's are making me think sooner than later!
Fun!
I believe I have a Trenker book in my library...
