Campanile di Val Montanaia Todos Escalada trad 1 via no local

Rudolf Reschreiter first made the mountain famous in climbing circles around 1900. Because of its circular band of overhanging rock below the summit, it soon gained the reputation of being "unclimbable". On 7 September 1902, the Italians Napoleone Cozzi and Alberto Zanutti made a first attempt and reached the crux, but could not find a way onto the ring band. Ten days later, after a meeting with Cozzi and Zanutti, the Austrians Karl Günther von Saar and Victor Wolf von Glanvell discovered the transverse passage to the west side, from which the Ring Belt could be reached, and were able to make the first ascent of the Campanile. Their ascent is still considered the normal route ('Via Normale') today.

On 19 September 1926, the summit bell with the Latin inscription "Audentis resonant per me loca muta triumpho" (loosely translated: "Through me the triumph of the daring man resounds in silent places") was erected. After being damaged by lightning in 2019, the bell has been replaced by the CAI of Pordenone after a crowdfunding campaign on Saturday 18 July 2020.
