And Mario Prinoth, one of the local climbers, has recently decided to devote time and attention to this new playground where, on 12/01/2006 he freed his project "Albertina". A man of few words, Mario has not put forward a grade, preferring to leave this task to future ascentionsits. Seeing though that he is one of the strongest climbers in the Dolomites, "Albertina" and the other routes in this "magic cave" are definitely worth a visit. .
