A number of high, major summits were reached at a still later date, including Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey (1885) and Fletschhorn (1889). Many technically challenging peaks, especially in the Dolomites, defeated climbers into the 20th century, with it:Campanile Basso (1899), de:Campanile di Val Montanaia (1902), Torre Venezia (1909), and Torre Trieste (1910) perhaps being the last big prizes.
