In autumn 2023, Lucas and I opened a new multi-pitch route on the Lagazuoi above Passo Falzarego. It took us about four days of work, and we finished it on 15 October 2023. The result is an eight-pitch, 230 m route with a hardest pitch of 7a – around 6c obligatory, since the crux can be aided (6a+ A0).
- Access: The wall can be seen from Passo Falzarego. The approach takes about 30 minutes.
- Descent: Abseiling is possible, but hiking back to the car park (~40 minutes) is recommended.
Topo
| Pitch | Grade | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6a | 25 m | Easiest pitch of the route. |
| 2 | 6c | 40 m | Probably the hardest free pitch: steep climbing on small holds. The hard sections are well protected. |
| 3 | 6c | 40 m | Hard start, then again steep climbing on pockets. |
| 4 | 6a+ | 20 m | Very exposed traverse with a steep vertical finish. The last steep part can be bypassed directly to the anchor. |
| 5 | 6a | 30 m | 10 m of walking, then a steep vertical climb to the anchor below the big overhang. |
| 6 | 7a (6a+ A0) | 20 m | Big overhang right at the start (7a), followed by a technical slab (6b+). |
| 7 | 6b+ | 15 m | Short, vertical and technical. |
| 8 | 6a+ | 40 m | Steep climbing on good holds. |
