Ultimo Minuto - Langental
Mixed variation to the famous icefall La Piovra. Ultimo Minuto climbes the first pitch of La Piovra di Destra, ie the righthand branch of the drip, then protected by 5 bolts tackles a 20m section of rock to reach the hanging dagger and climb another 55 meters of pure ice.
Coming from the south, exit the A22 motorway after Bolzano at Val Gardena. Drive up the beautiful valley, passing Ortisei, Santa Cristina and Selva di Val Gardena. At a junction, follow signs for Vallunga and after a few kilometers the road ends near the start of the cross country piste; follow this into the valley.
AccessFrom the car park at 1650m, ascend through the valley for about 90 minutes. The route is located on the right, immediately to the right of Piovra.
