Nikibi - Lastoni di Formin, Torrione Marcella
A modern bolt route first ascended from the ground which climbs the smooth slabs of the tower. The route ascends a compact vertical rock face and offers great mid-grade climbing. Given the route's difficulty, the bolts and beauty, Nikibi is destined to become a modern classic up this mountain.
Passo Giau is reached easily either from Cortina via the SS48 and SS638, or from Caprile for those coming from the Agordino.
AccessDrive towards Passo Giau from Cortina and park the car on the left next to the sign for "Muraglia di Giau". Continue on foot towards the tower, follwoing tree markers (path no. 436 for Forcella Giau). Allow 35 mins for the walk-in.
DescentDescend easily down the gully indicated in the drawing. 15 mins to the base of the routes
GearThe route is equipped with bolts, a rope and 12 quickdraws suffice.
