Description

Beckoning tower of red granite, up north east from the hut. Fifteen established routes, well-bolted but with plenty of opportunity for gear. No slabs here! Crack and face climbing mostly.

Easiest route is poorly-protected 5b on the spigolo (ridge), hardest a 7c.

South-facing. Perfect for early and late season.

Getting There

From the Capanna, head straight up the ridge, then make a steep traverse to a flatter area. In late winter, this was fine in snowshoes, 1 hr from the hut.

The hut is ~ 45 min from parking in All' Aqcua, up a well-trod trail.
