On 27 and 28 August Michele Zandegiacomo Mazzon and Simone Corte Pause made the first ascent of a new route on the south face of Cima Auronzo, Dolomites. The route is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Auronzo di Cadore Mountain Rescue.![]() The route Via dei 50 anni Soccorso Alpino Auronzo di Cadore Cima Auronzo (2914m) - Croda dei Toni Group - Cima 12 F.A: Zandegiacomo Mazzon Michele, Corte Pause Simone, 27-28/08/2004 Access: Cima Auronzo (2914m) is the 12th peak in the Croda dei Toni chain. The base of the route in just 5 minutes walk from the bivouac de Toni. Gear: full mountaineering rack, friends, nuts, two 60m ropes. Descent: abseil down the route. All belays are equipped with two 10mm bolts and maillon rapide. Grade: VI (A1), with some crux sections VI+ (route length approx. 300mt) Ascent: The first pitch climbs the grey slab (35m, VI+, 2 pegs, then friends and threads) than traverses left along a scree ledge for approx 60m, before continuing up a series of obvious black vertical cracks (80m, V+/ VI, 4 in-situ pegs, mid-size friends). The cracks, clearly visible from the ground, are broken by comfortable ledges (belays). The crack widens in the upper section of the route (35m, VI+ A1, 4 pegs + 12 special pegs) and transforms into an overhanging chimney (25m, VI, wedged block) which leads to an easy scramble to the summit (80m circa, III- IV).
