Pordoi and 1/2 canale holzer

Snow condition

in the canale enough snow. the last 200m out of the Val Lasties a lot of rock contact. everything except gullies still has shark potential unfortunately

Snow quality

Powder in some places otherwise often wind cover. North side still good snow. West side quickly became soft and sticky

Avoid very steep slopes with obvious shoots. Have produced a decent crack in uncritical terrain

Overall impression

The entrance to Canale Holzer was critical in terms of drift snow. We therefore decided to bypass the north abseil and walk in from below. You get to about halfway - to the 2nd abseil. Good snow on the descent. Overall, however, little snow here and too many ski-snagging minerals.
