4 pitches.
Access
Once you reach Prati di Tivo, take the cable car that goes up to Madonnina. From there, follow the Ventricini path under the entire North face, pass the first shoulder and reach a fork from which you descend aiming for the characteristic detached boulder (about 45 min)
Alternatively, you can drive up to the lake plain by taking the road that continues to the left from Prati. Leave the car and go up the Arapietra towards the ruined hotel and then towards the mountain station. Continue as above (about 45 minutes to the Madonnina)
Material
nda, small and medium friends are useful (possibly a camalot n. 3 to reinforce the S1 inside the crack of the jammed boulder), various slings and cords to lengthen the protections, some quickdraws, two half ropes.
Relation
L1 - V - 45m
Attack the slab until you reach a crack that you climb entirely until you reach a ramp-channel that you follow to the belay (1 bolt, 2 bolts, belay on 2 bolts and jammed rock)
L2 - IV+ - 40m
Take the Z-shaped crack on the right trying to stay out of it as much as possible. Follow it to the end. Before the second bend to the right, continue in an uncomfortable gully until you come across an equipped belay (2 bolts, belay on 2 bolts and chain)
L3 - IV - 30m
From the belay of Sua Mollosa Grossezza, climb back towards the original one and continue along an easy slab until you reach a small roof that you overcome using hand-held holds. Then intuitively up to a small terrace where the belay is located (belay on 2 bolts and hourglass)
L4 - III/IV - 35m
Climb the slab leaning on the easy until you reach the small fork: on the left of the rounded boulder there is the belay. Eventually to continue easily along the Morandi-Consiglio-De Ritis you can continue for another 15m, going around the boulder and climbing a small slab at the beginning lacking in holds to reach the belay (belay on 2 bolts)
Descent
You can climb up the last easy pitches of the Morandi-Consiglio-De Ritis, then descend via the Bonacossa or by abseiling along the same channel for descents that are not very easy to spot, or by abseiling along the route with three descents from S4 to S3, from S3 to S2 and from S2 to the ground
