"Normalweg " "Via Normale."

This route is historically the easiest and enjoyable way of reaching the North Summit. The route finding is somewhat indirect, but it shares the same first pitches with the Normale or "Nuvolau Weg" to the South Summit. Pitch 1 follows a gully system trending towards climber's left, passing some iron rods or "pegs" and to a belay stance. Cemented piton or ring anchor. Squeeze under the enormous chockstone to easy climbing (5.2/5.3) to another fixed anchor. Some climbing in coils or steep scrambling take one to a ledge with a Memorial Plaque, and a short downclimb to a terrace. Climbb through and around some large chockstones in the gully to a 20 foot section of fixed rope leading to climber's left, into the "Labyrinth" of chockstones. Tunnel under one enormous chockstone to arrive at another belay. From here, 2 more short leads up a slab and through gully/dihedral/chimneys to the summit.
Abseil and down climb the route.

From Rifugio Scoiattoli, the gravel path leads almost directly to the West Summit of the Torre Grande; a climber's path circles left to the gap between towers and the starting point for the climb.

All fixed protection, a fixed line traverse, and cemented anchors. Bring a light rack with runners and quickdraws for safety.
