Terzo spigolo - Tofana di Rozes
Elegant climbing in a grandiose setting, up the imposing third arête on the left-hand side of Pilastro di Rozes. The rock is generally good quality and the difficulties remain sustained from the second half upwards. The in-situ gear is sufficient on the crux pitches.
Drive to Rifugio Dibona, at the foot of the Tofana di Rozes. This is reached from Cotina by driving towards Passo Falzarego, past Pocol and few hairpin bends, and turning off right up onto the dirt track following signs for the refuge.
AccessFrom Rifugio Dibona follow path no. 442 past Pilastro di Rozes and then take the path that leads to the Grotta della Tofana ferrata. The route starts in a grey corner at roughly the same height as the ferrata.
DescentTraverse north along the ledge towards the Punta Marietta pinnacle. Then walk down scree and ledges to reach a well trodden track; continue along an exposed ledge around the base of the pinnacle and then easily down to Rifugio Giussani.
