Route
Beautiful ice and mixed climb in fantastic surroundings, with a spectacular view onto the Grostè pistes and then, on the summit, the view down into the enchanting, wild Val di Tovel.
The ice gully comes into condition almost every year after a period of thawing followed by a cold spell (March – April). The climb is demanding above all due to the lack of pro.
We feel we cannot provide a grade due to the changing conditions of this type of climb. Future repeaters should note that we climbed circa grade 6 ice with precarious mixed and poor pro.
Time required for the first ascent: 4 hours 49 minutes from Rifugio Graffer to the summit. ! Peg left in-situ.
