Grade Route

Historic icefall for the Piemont ice climbing scene. A major reference in the 80s.

Features two pitches: P1: 50-55m - a bit easier to the left and center (80-85 degree ice), and much harder and more sustained to the right side (90 degree ice); P2: 55-60m - the same as for the above, easier to the left, harder on the right side (85 degree), finishing up with less steep ice at the top (75 degree).

Features 3 rappel stations, equipped with ancient cordelettes, one at the top, two in the middle [both center (featuring a bolt) and right side].
