July 20 Selva Hiking Day 2

From Selva, took the Dantercepies gondola to 2300 m.

• Short hike and decided to climb Gran Cir (2900 m.) 9,570 feet. Similar to 3 Fingered Jack or Mt Washington. No special hardward needed. 51 minutes up, 23 minutes down. About 2000 foot climb.
• V I D E O (360 degree panaroma) of the Dolomites from the Gran Cir.
  

• Then hiked the Dolomiten hohenweg (high trail) to the Puez Hutte. 2.5 hours of ascending and descending. Hutte sits at 2475m (8200 feet).
  
• Descended valley wall (very steep and a real foot/knee/leg burner). Ears popping all the way down. 4,400 foot drop back to town. 13 mile loop and about 10,000 feet in ascend-descending.
  
• Legs are pretty trashed --- plan for easy day tomorrow. Great dinner in valley (Val Gardena) watching gorgeous sunset.
