Fairly logical line up the side of the Piccolo Dain, with relatively varied climbing on typical Arco limestone - the only 'easy' way to get up this wall! The route is a little polished these days (especially the first corner pitch). There are plenty of loose rocks en route, so it is best avoided on busier days when there are other parties climbing above due to rockfall. On windy/cloudy days it is climb-able in the warmer seasons, but nonetheless best to avoid high season.
Last pitches have a reasonable amount of exposure, but should not cause any issues for anyone comfortable with easy vertical/slab climbing.
It can be linked with the lower climbs above the dam (Moonbears, La suola pitagorica etc.) for a fantastic longer itinerary which takes you right from the river to the top of the wall.
