Ego Land is "a true masterpiece" that winds its way through the enormous overhang on the lower section of the Elephants back, before tackling the legendary limestone slabs and pockets of the south face of the Marmolada.
The climb was established ground-up in summer 2024 by Bernardo Rivadossi and Massimo Faletti. The pair chose a line that starts to the left of Alì Babà (M. Giordani, F. Zenatti, P. Cipriani, 1983) then crosses it at the second pitch before continuing straight up for a total of 410 meters split into 10 pitches. At the top it crosses Grande Traverso, established by Igor Koller & co.
Rivadossi later returned with Luca Bana, and the two forged two other pitches to make the new route more independent from Ali Babà. After trying the moves and resting for a few days, on August 28 the pair freed the route in "team free" style (swinging leads, with the leader freeing each pitch).
