Tre Cime di Lavaredo - North Faces

Probably the most pleasant to actually climb among the six classic north faces of the Alps, the Tre Cime are the crown jewels of the Dolomites (as attested by the throngs of tourists hiking the loop every summer). While the Comici-Dimai is of course the most popular line, there is a lot of amazing climbing to be had on the infamously steep limestone walls of Cima Grand and Cima Ovest, and even some modern test pieces (Bellavista, Project Fear, Pan Aroma).
