Sadly the old lady got it right when she said “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”.

It served Reinhold Messner well enuff

It’s named for the mineral found there more than most abundant rock found there which I believe

Much of the surface Rock is excellent for climbing

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhold_Messner

I get your point from the name of the range but much of it is volcanic basalt actually

It’s a hugely popular climbing range like Tetons or Yosemite

Part of the attraction of mountain climbing and other high risk activity is that you have the satisfaction and bragging rights to do things more cautious people are not willing to take the risk doing.

It's what young manly men do, both playing with danger and proving their exceptional worth to a female genetic lottery winner. For young women, not so much. She did ultimately get to meet one of two very wealthy and wise billionaires that is interested in spending eternity with her.

The Truden / Trodena Faultline separates the realm of dark porphyry from the world of light-gray dolomite – the basic substance of the world-famous South Tyrolean Dolomites.

-From a touristic brochure I was working on last week.

(Of course, Filtre is located in a neighboring province.)

Yes, I was only cautioning about Dolomite and similar rock and mineral formations.

The differences in minerals, are what make the outdoors some of the most grand creations of the lord.

And people should get outdoors to experience them and broaden their view of life.

However outdoors people should be aware, advised, encouraged and trained to hike safely, and record those hikes safely.

It is hard to read about these losses.

Are used to climb a little buck in the San Juan‘s and the Tetons and glacier Park but I was nothing special at all I was more of a backpacker that climbed rock on occasion when I was a 70s hippie from Mississippi we also did some climbing in Jasper and Banff

I’m no expert on rock but I’m a big fan of Reinhold Messner he’s like a rockstar Ta’amu sort of like Alex Honnold is today which by the way I pray Alex quit climbing because he will get killed eventually

The dolomites much like the Fitzroy range in Patagonia or glacier Park are special very very pretty the people who live there a route fortunate to have such beauty surrounding them plus they have good Italian food if they live on the southern side and friendly people lol

It’s like when you go to Lugano

It’s a whole Nother world from Zürich the personality of the people you know Italian Swiss I guess you can tell I like Italians whether they are in Mississippi or Bensonhurst or Rome or Palermo they are usually warm people

Heck, I like Italians too, ... in Italy.

And Swiss, ... in Switzerland.

And French, ... in France.

However I cut 'em no slack for the decisions they make in running their own nations. They get the government and society they asked for, and no sympathy from me.

Also, I will not tolerate ANY of 'em coming here with their brilliant Cultural "Superiority" and Elitist "Knowledge" in How To Run America Correctly.

They can mind their own business, and I'll try to neuter the American Socialist Left so they can't pull the same crap in those same nations.

I'll respect Foreign laws and shut up when I'm there, they can do the same here.

Actually, it’s not that they have no fear of death, it’s that they will often take ridiculous risks for a selfie to post on social media. Wikipedia has a page that lists all the deaths that have been attributed to selfie-taking-gone-wrong; it’s sad, but it also leaves you shaking your head that people can be so dumb.
