Geocache Description:

Take place in the nature!

This cache is located at nearly 3000 m of height and marks a very special point of view with a better spot for having picnic on the summit of the Piza Sud (many climbers aren't aware of it, when looking only for the descending rope).

Just relax above many squarekilometers of pure nature and have an 360°-overview over most of the dolomite mountains!
Your mission is to take better pictures of the ferrata-climbing, than I did ;) My cam had been out of order and the pictures were only some grabbed frames from my videotape...

If you climb the ferrata in the later afternoon, you'll be able to enjoy that tower absolutely alone, as well as I did, when hiding this cache. Rockfall, caused by other climbers cannot endanger you then.
It takes 5-6h and ~800 mH to ascend in total from Pso Falzarego.
The ferrata is cathegory "E" (A-F) and starts on the west side at the Bivacco della Chiesa. It's end is on the NE-side of the "tower". You should be able to climb in the exposition which is shown on my picture No.3.

Have fun, a nice weather and a nice travel ;)

By the way:
At the old position N 46° 32.769 E 012° 01.111, you'll see imprints of Megalodonts, 220 000 000 years old, and shaped like a heart (original pictures). In about 2 m distance north to them, there is an alternative microcontainer (according to the foto), for the case of a lost of the main one ;)
