Gallo George - Muraglia di Giau - Lastoni di Formin
Although the tower broken and discontinuous, the route is pleasant and the difficulties continuous throughout, apart from the second short pitch. The exit onto the summit is particularly beautiful. Rock quality tends to be good but in some places it can be tricky and requires attention. The difficulties (max 5 +), length (240m), bolts, fast approach (1 hour) and easy descent are all factors which make this route well worth repeating, especially in unstable weather.
