Description 

Southern exposure allows early seasonal access. This is a popular area since many short single-pitch Sport Routes exist in addition to summit routes. The best known climb is the Colbertaldo/Pezzotti Route at UIAA IV+ (5.5/5.6).

There is very good rock, in general, and the routes have been cleaned up over the years from any major loose choss.

Getting There
