Description Suggest change

The route is pretty obvious; it starts at the base of a very steep left facing open book. Climb it. The first lead is very technically difficult and continuous; solid 5.7+/5.8 climbing. Belay at a fixed double piton anchor. Continue up difficult crack climbing and stemming, 5.8+/5.9, to a notch . The climbing then eases for a pitch and intersects Via delle Guide a pitch below the summit. Overall, a steep and continuous route.

Descent: On the summit, locate a rappel anchor on the northern end. A 20m rappel brings you to a ledge. Traverse left for about 5 m to locate a second rappel anchor. Another 20m rappel brings you to the top of a gully. Start descending the gully climber's right. After 10m, you can either scramble down a "tunnel" with fixed iron spikes, or you can do a final rappel from fixed gear.

Location Suggest change

From the start of the Via delle Guide, contour to the left around the rock to the base of an impressive left facing open book.

Protection Suggest change

Many fixed pitons, but bring a normal rack with cams & many runners.
