Alta infedeltà climbed Sasso delle Undici Marmolada, Dolomites

Thomas Gianola and I made the first ascent of this route on a cold day in early summer. While waiting for the sun to warm the air a little, we decided to take our time preparing our gear, so much so that route gets its name from the TV program we watched that morning. We reckon the climb deserves far more attention than the program itself, and look forward to what future ascensionismts have to say.

Alta infedeltà, High infidelity, climbs the beautiful limestone slabs on Sasso delle Undici in the Marmolada group follows the most interesting looking rock. On the second pitch we came across lots of threads, unfortunately we weren’t so lucky on the following pitches and so, in light of the fact that we wanted to make something logical and at the same time not too dangerous, we decided to add some bolts to protect the more demanding sections. Having said that, it’s more of an alpine outing that a sports climb and requires protecting with cams and the ability to run it out on Vth grade terrain a fair way above the last peg.
