Rockfax Description
The classic route of the face. It takes a logical line up the corner before moving onto the main face up excellent flakes to the summit. Well protected throughout.
Ascend scree to reach the base of the corner.
1) IV, 35m. Climb the corner direct keeping mainly on the left wall, then exit right onto a small ledge.
2) IV-, 30m. Step back into the corner and follow this to reach a pillar. Move right and climb the right side of this, then make a rising traverse back left to reach the wide ledge.
3) IV, 30m. Gain the chimney above and climb this on the inside to reach a ledge.
4) IV, 30m. Continue in the same line, now following a splendid flaked crack on excellent rock to exit onto the grassy summit. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Take the path from the hotel by the car parks to the north of Misurina, by the Tre Cime turn off. Path is to the left of the hotel signed to the summit, red/white marker path 224. Keep on this path through the woods. Feels like going too far to the right but is correct. Become short scree slope, keep to the right and will become a good path again (follow red/white markers). Path levels at a fork. Take the L fork ( signed palestra Di roccia). The r fork is the decent route. L fork takes under face on good path for all Rockfax listed climbs. For Diedro mazzorana small ascent up short scree path between face and small tower leads to the corner.

βeta: Don’t follow either sets of instructions in the Dolomites rockfax guidebook/ukc. The map isn’t correct and the instructions misleading. Park just north of Misurina, just by the turn off for Tre Cime. Follow the signed path (red and white flag, signed to summit, 224)) to the left of the hotel (starts by the sign post saying supermarket 100m). Ascend through the wood on nice path. Get to scree, stay right and it becomes nice path again. Continue to a fork. Take the left branch (signed palestra di roccio). The right branch is where you descend from so gearing up at junction is ideal. Follow the left fork under the face of the wall. Diedro mazzarona requires small ascent between main the wall and a short tower. The guidebook description has you going up a hideous and dangerously loose and steep scree slope. | βeta? | |
