We used the nice weekend also to visit Monte Peralba and Monte Chiadenis. Particularly interesting for us was the western route to Pope's Mountain, which we hadn't hiked yet. It runs along a steep and mainly shady ridge, which is great in warm weather. Its start is behind the Piave source hut, indicated by the only signpost. The path is gentle at first, then steeply rises over rugged terrain. Above the tree line it eases and becomes more visible. Direction is given by rare marks and cairns, to be considered when following. Steepness is great but not much feeling of exposure. In the summit part there are some harder passages over rocks, but without major issues. We exited directly at the cross and were a bit surprised we were already at the top . We descended the rugged classic marked 131, where crowds were just starting to pour. Lower at Sesis Joch saddle we continued straight towards the eastern slope of Monte Chiadenis. There starts the harder of two ferratas to its summit. Besides demanding passages, difficulty shows in cables. Most are renewed but so loose you have to get used to it first. Such style was characteristic of Italian ferratas in the past, but not for long. Here they kept the loose style, probably for selection among candidates. The ferrata on the other side is completely different. We descended via it from the summit and there cables are tight as strings. Accordingly greater visits from that side. After ferrata end followed descent to start and drive home. The narrow winding road to Sappada is badly worn by time and calls for renewal. All other roads were fine, except Sunday *drivers* with open windows who slowly but surely test nerves of all behind them. But that's the weekend scene . Start coordinates (before Rif. Sorgenti del Piave hut): 46°37'13.1"N 12°42'57.9"E
