Via Cecilia - Cima Cason di Formin
A “classic” addition that climbs the arête to the left of Diedro Dallago, up good quality rock. 18 pegs were placed on the first ascent, and the difficulties, apart from the third crux pitch, are in the region of UIAA grade 4-5. Take a set of nuts, friends and kevlar cords.
Approach the Cima Cason di Formin by driving towards Passo Giau from Cortina and parking the car in Rucurto.
AccessTake the signposted path no. 437 to the rifugio Palmieri and turn off at the fork with the no. 435 for the Val Formin. Continue until this levels out beneath the wall, and then scramble up the scree towards the crack and chimney, beneath the large Diedro Dallago corner. Start to the left of the corner.
DescentFrom the summit downclimb the East face to reach the large ledge. Follow this left, all around “Cason de Formin” to then continue down the grass slopes to a gully. Descend this and then continue easily to the start of the route.
