Piccolo Dain: Orizzonti Dolomitici

The Limaro Wall offers, besides "Orizzonti Dolomitici," several other beginner trad climbing routes. These routes are ideal to get started with multi-pitch climbing. The pitches are short, the protection very good, the rock excellent, and the difficulties beginner-friendly. Unfortunately, the popularity of the route is reflected in the wear of the rock, especially the first two pitches suffer from this. Nonetheless, a highly recommendable route.

1st pitch [23 m, 5b, 7 quickdraws]: Unpleasant and polished start (5b), follow the bolt to the left, hang one quickdraw on an iron nail, stay rather low for the last meters to the belay, belay on a bent iron bar with chain.

2nd pitch [32 m, 3a, 6 quickdraws]: Continue traversing further left, pass under a tree, a few meters after the Moonbears belay (marked in white) belay on an iron bar with bolt.

3rd pitch [30 m, 4a, 6 quickdraws]: Continue left and at the first bolt do not continue horizontally (Amazzonia) but climb upward over a small wall to the belay under the tree.

4th pitch [28 m, 4a, 5 quickdraws]: Pass left of the tree and follow the broad crack leaning right upwards to a small ledge belay.

5th pitch [28 m, 5b, 9 quickdraws]: Beautiful pitch on two vertical slabs with good holds, unfortunately somewhat polished, easier to climb on the left side of the bolts.

6th pitch [25 m, 4c, 8 quickdraws]: Climb a small chimney upwards and continue left to the belay.

7th pitch [30 m, 4a, 8 quickdraws]: Continue left to a short vertical slab, belay immediately after.

8th pitch [22 m, 4b, 5 quickdraws]: Follow a ramp to the right to the start of the large chimney.

9th pitch [25 m, 5a, 7 quickdraws]: Climb the chimney upwards, at a ledge go left to the belay. It is possible to continue climbing further (15 m) to the next belay without difficulty.

10th pitch [15 m, 5a, 4 quickdraws]: Climb back right into the chimney on the beautiful vertical wall, then leave it again immediately, and climb the left beautiful slab with holes to the exit.
