Piani Resinelli
Piani Resinelli, Rifugio Porta then Rifugio Albarosa ~ 5 hour loop

A very lovely and sort of freaky hike involving ladders and chains  to hang onto with Joe's colleagues - Michael - 100% attendance with our weekend outings and Jake and Virginia

You can see me on the ladder, the sign to my right - is to pay respect to a 26 year old who fell right there and died. Nice.

To provide some perspective of how big the drop off is because these pictures don't do it justice... if I looked over my right shoulder I would see Joe below (as you see below)  going across that tiny ledge, not even a ledge, just metal things stuck into the rock, to put your feet and that plastic covered chain - for easy hand slipping.  Funny how confident you feel with a harness and climbing shoes.
The terrain was really interesting and unique and you could only really see it at it's best if you hiked in, over these treacherous paths. We also climbed up into a cloud which made it cold and visibility crap.
