Via Giordano - Il Trapezio, Lagazuoi Piccolo
The Via Giordano on Il Trapezio, back on the Lagazuoi Piccolo. A pleasant route and reasonably quick — which mattered, because we managed to top out ahead of the rain and get on the road home earlier than planned.

The topo describes the belays badly, and some of them simply are not there. That turns out to match what the route actually is: on the Giordano almost all of the stances and the intermediate protection have to be placed yourself. The rock, on the other hand, is exceptional.
The abseil station is hidden and far from obvious. After that it is back down the descent path, which wants some attention.
