The Molignon peak dominates the upper Duron valley with its imposing face that marks the southern end of the Seiser Alm. The route takes a line up the eastern flank and finished immediately to the right of the Molignon di Dentro summit. The route follows a line of ice unique to the Dolomies, a real north face reminiscent of the Western Alps which, due to its beauty and length, could easily be found in the Mont Blanc massif. A large section of the route is hidden behind a rocky bastion and corner which makes the line difficult to locate from Val Duron. This is an outstanding vertical journey, long and demanding in a grandiose, wild environment.
