Route

The route climbs good rock up an interesting mix of cracks, slabs and overhangs. Only in three sections is the rock slightly friable, namely on the three crux pitches. Due to the bad weather we established the route after a series of attempts in May and June. Apart from the few in-situ pegs, the route needs protecting with trad gear. All things considered Agoge is a beautiful route but to climb it you need a good dose of courage, determination and route-finding skills to climb the long sections which don't have pegs.

Access
Approach the Cima Scotoni by walking from the Capanna Alpina up the path no. 20 to the rifugio Scotoni and continue past the small lake along a trail to the base of the mountain. Scramble up the left-hand side of the broken pedestal to the first bolt (50m III). Allow at least an hour for the walk-in. The route starts circa 50m right of Via Lacedelli Itinerary

12.07.12 Abbiamo ripetuto ieri la via Agoge. E' una via che richiede ingaggio psicologico nei tiri piu' facili, poiche' sono friabili ed hanno lunghi passaggi fra i chiodi. Ma richiede anche forza nei tiri difficili, che sono ben protetti, con una buon qualita' di roccia. Le soste sono ottime, ma e' consigliabile di portarsi con se qualche chiodo. Le linea e' bella, ache se bisogna cercarla un po'. La nostra dovrebbe essere stata la prima ripetizione. In ogni caso complimenti agli apritori, bravissimo Simooooon!
