About the Authors

When Graham Fletcher started climbing, you had to file the threads out of nuts to make running belays and Bonington was clean-shaven. However, the demands of an academic life and, later, a busy professional career took care of the next 30 years. After rediscovering his sense of priorities, Graham took early retirement and took up where he left off. He’s still trying to figure out how Friends work.

John Smith has been walking and climbing mountains around the world for about 30 years, but his first visit to the Dolomites was not until 1998, when he fell in love with the mountains, culture and Via ferratas. In ticking off routes with a growing passion, he recognised the need for an up-to-date English-language guidebook, and also found that many routes existed which had not been published at all in English. Researching the new routes for this second volume has provided many more enjoyable and exciting days in the Dolomites.
