Just two years after the release of the first edition, it is already time for a second edition. This new first volume is now titled "Western Dolomites 1." It is the first of two volumes dedicated to the western Dolomites, which now also include new areas and feature many new routes that I was able to realize in the past two years, thanks to the simultaneously released second volume "Western Dolomites 2." However, this first volume, which can also be purchased separately, is not just a simple reissue of the "old" first volume. On one hand, we have tried to correct all the errors or typos that were inevitably present in the 2009 edition. Additionally, we have revised many photos and added new material such as supplementary images and new biographies of the first ascenders.
