Congratulations to both.
Years pass, memories remain. A tour that imprints deep into the soul.
To meet someone else on this tour is a great rarity, or very unusual
; even ibex are only in the upper part.
As a curiosity, I add a romantic description of the path - quote from Mašer guide.
In the Julian Alps, the west wall of Montaž is an unrivaled notion of mightiness and mountain grandeur!
The view of the highest wall in mountaineering literally crushes you. Deep gullies, vertical sharp pillars, narrow ledges above huge abysses, wild couloirs fill you with awe and reverence, yet irresistibly invite you into their rocky embrace.
Difficulty: Via Dogna is infinitely beautiful and infinitely long tour! Only a top-skilled and fit mountaineer can tackle it. Already in the lower part there are intermediate pitches of II degree.
The gray wall means 300 meters of II-grade climbing, sometimes even noticeably more.
There are almost no markings except at the very beginning of the path, orientation is extremely complicated.
Via Dogna is a magnificent tour, a great experience that ennobles the spirit and makes life nobler and richer (all quoted from Mašer guide).
Really magnificent tour in quality rock, on narrow exposed ledges. The wall is respectfully vertical and precipitous in places for climbing without protection. Nature is wild in the true sense of the word.
