Nunca con prisa, siempre con gana - Castello di Vallesinella
An incredible line up Castello di Vallesinella in the Brenta Dolomites, on absolutely amazing rock. Logical, elegant and short. The route follows a crack that takes plenty of pro and which allowed us to make the first ascent onsight.
Reach Madonna di Campiglio.
AccessThe approach is the same as for the Principessa winter crag: follow the summer path that from the top of the lifts (Rifugio Stoppani) leads towards the Tuckett hut. Just before starting the last short descent that leads to the Principessa crag, take the left fork towards Cima Grostè. At this point the route is located right in front of you. 40 minutes from the top of the lifts
