Patience is rewarded

Because Rosengarten was rained out yesterday -- and the skies rained themselves out last night -- today I will hike Latemar, which I've photographed frequently, but never visited. The hike starts with a skilift ride.

The ascent

Gamsstallscharte

2564m

In the clouds

Between Gamsstallscharte and Latemarhütte

Me, between Gamsstallscharte and Latemarhütte

The highest altitude of the day

Latemarhütte, 2671m

The descent

Ciao, Latemar

The moutains teach patience

Wednesday, I was supposed to go with Sepp, the Wandernführer, and a group for higher altitude hiking on Rosengarten. But nature said no.
