Great route on the righthand side of the face, up rough and very good quality rock. The climb takes advantage of the most beautiful and compact section, providing varied and elegant climbing in a fantastic setting. The in-situ gear is excellent even if runout at times. All the belays are comfortable and allow an easy retreat by abseil. This little gem is destined to become a classic of the area.
Fast teams can link Flora Alpina with Occhi d'acqua route on nearby Torre del Formenton, by crossing the large ledge on foot for about 20 minutes, thereby creating an extraordinary and challenging link-up.
Gear
10 quickdraws, 1 x 60m rope, some mid-size cams
