Batajan takes a line up the second Sella tower and offers fascinating and varied VI and VII grade climbing with an airy crux which leads through the great roofs on the 4th and 5th pitches.
Getting there
Reach Passo Sella from either Val Gardena or Val di Fassa. Access
From Passo Sella take the path that leads beneath the north faces of the Torri del Sella. Leave this and follow the obvious track up towards the gully that separates the II and III tower. The route starts at the lowest point of the II Sella Tower. Itinerary
47 in-situ pegs and numerous threads. Take a set of camming devices.

Start by following a series of cracks and slabs up compact rock to reach the obvious roofs which can be seen right from the outset and which are overcome with some aery and athletic climbing. After the roofs a traverse leads right to another crack system which leads up the West Face.
