A lovely short climbing route away from the well-known peaks, on excellent rock and without any annoying motorcycle noise.

Setting up a route over the central pillar is basically obvious. However, good local knowledge and instinct are certainly required to ultimately create a great line on good rock.

The route runs along classic structures on mostly excellent rock. Nevertheless, due to the few ascents so far, one should not wildly pull on everything.

Hard to believe that no route had been established over this edge yet. Mario Dibona has now accomplished this in an impressive manner.

In thunderstorm conditions, this is an excellent morning activity at the Cinque Torri. Moreover, the route runs on the cool north side.

This route combination is hardly to be surpassed in exposure and leads through the steepest part of the wall. Not for the faint-hearted. The exposed sections are not even the hardest. Remember the dates of the first ascents.

The "Dimai" with the "Miriam start" is a generously renovated classic by Dolomite standards and thus increasingly interesting for pleasure and sport climbers, and not only for days when weather-related escape options are needed.

Great, very beautiful route that demands quite a bit of experience! Both route-finding and protection are challenging. The rock is very grippy and generally solid. However, there is some loose scree on the ledges, so both the follower and subsequent rope teams are exposed to rockfall.

The day begins optionally with a wonderful hike through a magnificent Dolomite landscape or with a decadent jeep taxi up to the start. Once there, rock quality and climbing up to the fourth pitch are absolutely convincing. Afterwards, however, some Dolomite roughness appears.
