Route



Sustained and difficult multi-pitch sport climb up always excellent rock, established ground-up. The difficulty of the route, apart from its sustained nature, is given by the fact that the hardest two pitches are located right at the end. All belays are equipped with twin-bolts and abseil ring. Given the long run-outs, the route is considered very exposed.
Getting there
From Trento or Arco drive to the town Sarche located at the foot of Mt. Dain. From Sarche park at Bocciodromo. Follow the path as for the Via Ferrata Rino Pisetta and at the fork bear left towards Ranzo. At the ned of the stepped ferrata ascend diagonally right, following the tracks to reach the fixed ropes. Ascend these to reach the first belay of via Direttissima. (30 min). Access
Start up grey, compact rock to the right of the first belay of Via Direttissima. Itinerary

Thanks to: Fabio Leoni (Vertical) for having partly sponsored this climb with fear and the Mountain Guide Diego Filippi who allowed us to move the first 4m of the final pitch of his aid route Via Direttissima to leave room for our stupendous final pitch.

13 giugno 2012 1° Rotpunkt integrale da capocordata, assieme a Herman Zanetti, in 9 ore di parete. Via impegnativa e scabrosa. La roccia alterna tratti belli ad altri mediocri, migliorabili con la pulizia. Un elogio al coraggio degli apritori, concentrati però esclusivamente nel distanziare gli spit, a scapito della pulizia ed alla logicità della linea delle protezioni. Come obbligatorio proporrei un 7b expo. Fino al 6° tiro confermo i gradi, il 7° lo darei 6b+, l'8° 7c, il 9° 7a+, il 10° rimane 8a ma attenzione alle gambe ed al compagno!!! L'11° 7c+ Rolando Larcher
