The line we took

Rifugio Puez / Passo Gardena / Val Setus / Pisciadu / Rifugio Boè / Passo Pordoi / Viel dal Pan / Castiglioni

Val Setus is a short cabled section. Walked, not run. Early, spaced out, with rockfall overhead the whole way up.

Out of the Sella the Viel dal Pan traverse runs straight at the Marmolada, with Lake Fedaia below.

Night at Castiglioni Marmolada. Strict 08:00 to 09:00 check-out, so packed the night before.
