Tupac Amaru - Carpe Diem is a fun and very beautiful three-pitch ice climb. After an easy first slabby pitch the icefall steepens and alternates delicate mixed sections with vertical, articulated ice. A bolt and peg were placed on the first mixed section, while two bolts were placed on the second section.
Campitello di Fassa (Valle di Fassa, Tn)
AccessPark the car at the “Col Rodella” cablele car in Campitello di Fassa. Walk along the cross country piste towards Fontanazzo and after 10 minutes ascend the gully on the left to reach the base of the icefall. Walk-in: 30 minutes from the car (from the main road make sure you locate the right gully!).
DescentBolt abseils.
GearFull ice climbing rack. Ice screws, including a set of short screws, micro friend + 0,75 BD. Bolts have been placed on the mixed sections.
NotesAfter some research we discovered that the icefall “Carpe Diem” had been climbed previously by Giorgio Carlotti & friends, entirely on ice and without leaving any gear in-situ! The original name of the icefall was “Tupac Amaru” and the climb had been graded WI 5°. The route was repeated by Tommaso Cardelli and Cristian Dallapozza on 10/4/2010., and the first ascentionists agreed to leaving the bolts on the mixed sections and at the belays.
