"Alpini Kante " (Alpini Arete)

From the Kriegstrasse leading to the Lazarett, head uphill toward the intersection of the lower triangular shaped face. The start of the climb is marked by presence of a cemented in piton, and a red triangle painted on the wall. Almost all stances are protected with cemented pitons. The first couple leads are very easy and around 5.3-5.4 climbing (if that!) The 3rd pitch passes through a small saddle marking the top of the triangular lower face, and surmounts a slightly steeper face to the belay stance. Pitch 4 climbs past a scree covered ledge (Rockfall warning!), and pitches 5, 6, & 7 are the most enjoyable. There is a red paint marking at the 7th belay, and marks the intersection of another route which subsequently shares the final 3 pitches up the exposed ridge crest to the summit. Descend either the Klettersteig (new), or follow some fixed lines to the gully and downward to the Kriegstrasse.

The route begins at the L. edge of the lower triangular face, and is marked by a red paint triangle, and cemented piton.

Mostly fixed gear; bring a light alpine rack with slings and draws.
