Took the chairlift up from Rio Gere to Rif Son Forca with E. Plan was to then get another lift up to 2900m and do the VFs onto the Monte Cristallo summits. Turned out though that the second lift has been defunct for 2 years! Cloud was also down so changed plans and traversed / climbed by a lower path to join the VF Ivano Dibona at the Forc Alta and continue on a one way route to finish at Ospitale. J was having a rest day, so a quick text rearranged our pick up point (thanks J). Nothing too technical on any of the route but was feeling the uphill sections really hard work - combo of altitude and too many hours I think. R knee complaining a bit too. Worst bit of the route turned out to be some shitty eroded scree and then wind blown trees over the lower section of the path. Brightened up quite nicely - would probably have been fine to head for the tops but we chose the sensible option for once.
Out for 4h 10m total.
