The climb ascends the North Face of Sas del Pegorer, is 430m long and 350m high. Probably the line comes into condition rarely since the ice only forms when the snow that plasters the face transforms. Usually though the snow doesn’t melt in winter, unless it rains just like it did in November 2016 immediately after some heavy snowfall. The pitches are generally just off-vertical and offer highly technical climbing with long sections up rock. The route is characterized by its lack of decent gear; the ice is too thin for ice screws, while the rock rarely provides cracks for pegs or trad gear. During the first ascent 3 bolts were placed by hand on 3 different belays. The first ascentionists are completely happy with more bolts being added by those wishing to repeat the line, as they do not believe in a heroic, kamikaze form of alpinism! Bearing in mind th type of ice, the first ascentionsists suggest using the Alpine Ice climbing scale and suggest AI 6-, M7, R for the 8 pitch outing. All rappel belays are equipped.

Note: Qualcuno ha aggiunto uno spit alla terza sosta e uno sul quarto tiro (fix da 8 messi con il trapano) poi probabilmente si sono calati. E' possibile arrivare alla terza sosta seguendo cenge e brevi muretti di misto senza particolari difficoltà. Abbiamo piantato e lasciato 2 chiodi sul 4° tiro. Per una ripetizione portare pecker grossi o ice piton ( o due piccozze in più da lasciare come protezione), risultano le protezioni migliori. Dalla penultima sosta con una traversata ascendente di circa 80 metri a destra si potrebbe connettersi a un altra colata e proseguire l'itinerario fino in vetta.
Secondo noi i gradi sono leggermente più facili ma il grado di esposizione è molto elevato. Complessivamente M6+ AI5 E4 (E5 se non si hanno ice piton o pecker).
