Description Suggest change

The 'King Line' of the Contrafforte della Cima Reina formation, this route follows the obvious steep right arete of the left triangle of orange rock. 

P1 gets you to the base of the steep orange section (5.9+/10-), p2, the money pitch, climbs that steep rock (5.10/+), and p3 continues up the main tower (5.9+/10-). P4-6 climb easier (5.6-8), slightly less bomber rock up then right along the ridge to the top of the formation. 

From the top, hike back around left to the base

Location Suggest change

About 1mi down the road East of the refuge, just uphill of a sharp switchback, a dirt road cuts north off the main road. Park at the vague lot at the start of this dirt road, then hike the road 10 mins gently uphill, then cut right across the meadow to the formation as the road fades out at the top of the gulley to the right of the road. There should be a trail eventually that takes you over to the base but it's mellow flat walking through a meadow either way. 

Protection Suggest change

Bolts. A dozen draws (a few alpine) should do the job.
