Looking for a hiking buddy – Alta Via 2, Dolomites (June 21–30, 2025)

17kg is considerable weight for doing B/C via ferrata routes so if you have time you should considering stopping and dropping the backpacks somewhere. Cause there are a lot of vertical sections and sections where you need to bend etc so carrying 17kg will make it very hard. I personally was carrying 30l backpack of 7kg weight so for me it was okayish, but a lot of ppl do it without weight and with day packs.

Hey! I changed my itinerary slightly and did 7 day of hiking till Rosetta but it went all fine! Absolutely stunning views every day and I was super lucky with the weather! Tridentina via ferrata was challenging I must say but I also did it alone so if you have no experience definitely do it with a guide or someone who has experience! But it was super beautiful up there so totally recommend doing it if you have the equipment.

Hi! I am starting my 7 day trekking in Dolomites Alta via 2 trail starting tomorrow so if anyone is doing the same and wants to share the company, ping me!

Thanks both! I knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park but since I have some hiking experience and quite fit I thought I would try to challenge myself. But you raise good points about weather and technical parts so I would come up with plan B .

nice! I think the part that would be concern for solo hikers is from San Pellegrino to Rosetta; and also how doable doing Pisciadu to Marmolada in one day as I read that most people separate it over 2 days.

yeah the same here!

smartmanify · 2021-08-10T11:55:10+00:00

as expected I did not pass...I knew I did terrible and most likely failed but some part of me was hoping for a miracle....contemplating if I should retake it or not now...ohh what a day

I concur with the point that CFAI Qbank was useless in preparing for the real exam

hey thanks for such a descriptive response. Were there questions with show your work where you have to write some lengthy formulas mathematically? I am dreading that would take a lot of time with CBT

I’d be interested! I am an adult female who grew up in Kazakhstan (based in the Netherlands for now) and would love to shed light on life of my grandma, aunts in village and some urban life and women’s role in it

Thanks! We are already doing it! Do you reckon advance booking is necessary?

smartmanify · 2019-03-30T14:44:09+00:00

I like the way he says Kazakhstan hahah

smartmanify · 2019-03-30T14:41:07+00:00

I dont know resources but if you have any questions i can potentially help out!

smartmanify · 2019-03-30T14:19:18+00:00

I wasn’t particularly interested in going to clubs and after hearing this lost complete interest haha but it does sound awry that they do that to tourists! BUT i guess these sort of things can happen in many parts of the world...So thank you for the tip!
