RockPetri Heil
Petri Heil is a beautiful rock climb up excellent rock in an amazing setting. The route climbs close to the famous Demuthkante up the lefthand side of the North Face of Cima Ovest di Lavaredo.
GETTING THERE
The ideal starting points are Cortina d'Ampezzo and Auronzo. These can be reached from the north via the Pusteria Valley, or from the south by first taking the motorway (A27) to Longarone and then following the state road northwards. Both points of departure lead to Misurina, from where a private toll-road winds steeply almost to the base of the Tre Cime's south faces. Park the car at Rifugio Auronzo.
ACCESS
From Rifugio Auronzo take path no.105 to Col di Mezzo and continue to the North Face. Follow the track across the scree to the base of the arête. Petri Heil starts to the right of Demuthkante.
