Climbing route on the Torre Grande del Falzarego, Via The Wall

This route was opened on Torre Grande del Falzarego by Mario Dibona Moro, together with Gretchen Alexander.

Characteristics of the route

The route stretches out on Torre Grande del Falzarego, going past the large, vertical wall that lies at its foot. It is a cchallenging and tehnically demanding path, on perfect rock. The last pitch is definitely much more difficult than the other ones, however, it is possible to avoid it by traversing on the right side on easier rocks.

The route's grade is 7a+ max - with some 6b moves.
The route is entirely well-equipped with bolts.

Equipment

15 quickdraws, cords and slings, friends.
