Climbing Monte Marmolada - Dolomites - Italy

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:09:14 -0800

Mount Marmolada 3343m.a.s.l.(the Italian name; also Ladin: Marmoleda, German: Marmolata) is a mountain in northeastern Italy (just east of Trento) and the highest mountain of the Dolomites (a section of the Alps). The mountain consists of a ridge running west to east. Towards the south it breaks suddenly into sheer cliffs, forming a stone wall several kilometres long. On the north side there is a comparatively flat glacier, the only large glacier in the Dolomites (the Marmolada Glacier, Ghiacciaio della Marmolada).

The ridge is composed of several summits, decreasing in altitude from west to east: Punta Penia (3,343 m), Punta Rocca (3,309 m), Punta Ombretta (3,230 m), Monte Serauta (3,069 m), and Pizzo Serauta (3,035 m). An aerial tramway goes to the top of Punta Penia.

Transfer

Tue, 23 May 2006 09:16:48 -0700

From the creators of Dropstitch...

DropStitch steered away from the familiar formula most snowboard film makers use and came up with a new and unique concept, part snowboarding, part documentary. DropStitch aimed to build a clear sense of the snowboarders' personalities.

Transfer, our new film, will further build on the personalities of the girls and show how they have progressed and matured since their last section. The overall look and feel of the film will remain the same, but a more rigorous footage criterion will be set and a crew of the world's top riders has been handpicked to dedicate this year to filming.
