Rockfax Description
The route takes the logical line of the prominent chimney on Sass Pordoi's southeast face. It suffers from seepage, meaning it is rarely in condition early in the season or after periods of rain.
Start 10m right of the large gully which splits the southeast face, in a chimney immediately right of a low roof.
1) IV, 35m. Climb the chimney direct then, when level with a thread, move left into a smaller parallel chimney. Climb this direct then on its right wall to reach a wide ledge.
2) IV, 25m. Climb two parallel cracks, first the right then the left, then trend left slightly to reach a prominent yellow crack. Ignore this and instead traverse right (pegs) to enter the chimney.
3) IV, 40m. Follow the chimney direct to a ledge on the right.
4) IV, 45m. Step back left into the chimney and continue in the same line with traditional climbing. Move back behind a chockstone then trend right to a cemented belay on a small pillar.
5) III+, 30m. Follow the chimney to a stance by a natural rock window.
6) I, 40m. Trend left following a ramp, passing a small pillar on the left to reach a stance belay a narrow chimney.
7) IV-, 30m. Climb the chimney direct then follow moves right to a stance on the plateau. Join the main tourist path left to reach the cable car and Rifugio Maria. © Rockfax
