More info about Rock Climbing in Dolomites:
There are so many incredible rock climbing spots in the Dolomites that it would take an entire lifetime to experience them all. Outside of the aforementioned ones, here are a few others that are worth checking out. Val di Fassa, in the center of the range, is a good starting point for climbers heading to the Catinaccio group. Known for its pink hue, caused by the dolomite mineral in the rock, this spot is a particularly popular climb later in the day when the sunset brings out the color of the dolomite. Sitting in front of the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo is the town of Auronzo di Cadore, which offers access to Monte Paterno. Atop this peak are unparalleled views of the iconic triple summited massif, which keeps the peak at the very top of the bucket list of rock climbers heading to the Dolomites
