Thanks much for sharing and bringing back some good memories. I'm like ddriver. I spent a terrific couple of weeks there back in '87 or '88, climbing with the locals and clipping only bolts. Got sick strong. Never could entice anyone to do any longer routes with me. I kept getting the reply "no sono alpinisto". Still have to scratch that itch. Maybe now that my two oldest kids have gotten into climbing, that could make a terrific family vacation.
