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).<br><br /> 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.<br><br /> <img src="http://ll.broadbandsports.com/images/13144_climbing_Marmolada_07.mpg.jpg" alt="Climbing Monte Marmolada - Dolomites - Italy" title="Climbing Monte Marmolada - Dolomites - Italy" width="150" height="90" alt="Climbing Monte Marmolada - Dolomites - Italy"/><Br><br> Climbing Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:09:14 -0800 http://broadbandsports.com/node/3868 Rock Climbing in Dolomites Italy<br><br /> <img src="http://ll.broadbandsports.com/images/untitled_8_1.jpg" alt="Rock Climbing" title="Rock Climbing" width="150" height="90" alt="Rock Climbing"/><Br><br> Climbing Fri, 06 Oct 2006 12:37:22 -0700
