Via Helga is an interesting multipitch climb protected with bolts and threads on the north face of Col Bocià, established by Ingo Irsara and Simon Kehrer in 2023. The ‘sprint’ start immediately sets the tone for the rest of the route: well-protected but not overly bolted. A satisfying, athletic climb on good rock, in a tranquil corner of the Dolomites. It offers splendid views onto Rifugio Scotoni and the surrounding mountains: Lagazuoi, Fanis, Cima del Lago, Cima Scotoni and Conturines.
