Cascata Toboga - Pala delle Masenade

ZOOM ++

Beautiful ice climb, not particularly high nor difficult, which follows the summer rock climb Via Toboga. Facing south, it is ideal for very cold days. The combination of the ski mountaineering approach and return makes this a pleasant and interesting outing.

The summer climb, first ascended in 1989 by Giuliano De Marchi and Anna Sommavilla, tackles grade V+ difficulties and climbs the 250m gully in 5 pitches.

On 16 January 2021 Gianni Del Din and Otello De Toni made what is likely to be the first winter ascent. Del Din had been keeping an eye on the formation for a number of years prior to the ascent. A few days later Giorgia Felicetti and Federico Dell’Antone repeated the route and confirmed its beauty.
