Climbing at Würzjoch - Passo delle Erbe in the Dolomites

One of the most beautiful spots has been bolted in the last few years by locals: the Passo delle Erbe is composed of several huge blocks, that have fallen from the gigantic Sass Putia. This crag is ideal for hot summer and autumn day. It probably offers some of the most interesting sportclimbing routes of Alto Adige / Südtirol, for instance "Riss-Kant" (8a+). On the central part of the main sector, there are two lines waiting to be freed, certainly of a difficulty as hard as the 8th French grade. To the left, there is the – so far – hardest route "Camilotto" (8b), first climbed by the local Hannes Mantinger. Although there are also some easier routes, that are worth noting, the high difficulties dominate the climbing on the Passo delle Erbe. It is almost needless to say that the spot at the foot of the north face of Sass Putia accounts for an impressive panorama.
