In 2013 Virginia and I climbed up the Cima Grande di Lavaredo, in Dolomiti range, was an hard route, but with little climbing difficulties.
From left side: Torrione Minimo, Cima Piccolissima, Punta di Frida, Anticima Sud, Cima Piccola, Cima Grande (2999 mslm), Cima Ovest, Cresta del Rifugio.
This is the north face, where you can find some of the hardest routes in the Alps; here the VI degree era was opened by Emilio Comici, and many of the most famous climbers of the last years have freed routes up to 8c+ (panaroma, just as example, on the north face of the Cima Ovest); the easy access is on the other side, the south face. This is true for all but the Cima Piccola.
We climbed the south normal route of Cima Grande in 2013
She was 9 yrs old, and this was her upper limit
When we where around the top she noticed the smaller peak, on the right side, and some climbers, and she asked me to climb this peak, the next year.
From another point of view you can see how is harder this peak
It took more than a year to prepare this climb, so in 2015 finally we tried
Not the hardest route for me, but was'nt easy to climb together being involved in Virginia security.
The last summer we tried something shorter but harder, and she managed to secure me, now she is 12, and she can keep me.
Hope you liked.

@LucioV Wow, Amazing adventures and great success. Wonderful pictures. What was the altitude at the finish? Pity that I can only give one Kudo.

Thanks @Myrathor thank you all, Cima Piccola is 2857 mslm, and Cima Grande 2999, but the north face of Cima Grande is a large, more than vertical, around 500 m!

This looks awesome, hopefully someday I'll get the courage to try to climb a mountain or do something extreme like that. The pictures makes it look easy and a short mountain but my guess is that you need a lot of experience and be brave enough to do it.

Great job. Braver than I.
As much as I'd love to be there for a photoshoot, my brain would likely tell the legs nooooh can do.
Best...
