Sasso di Toanella - Libidine Grigia
View route detailsIt’s been a long time since I last climbed with Lorenzo, so we decide to mark the occasion by stealing two days of good weather in between bad forecasts for a rather notorious route. I have the topo photographed from the hut guidebook. The reputation of the first ascensionists doesn’t inspire much confidence, but the route has been “tamed” over successive repeats: all belays are equipped, and each pitch has two or three pitons. The rock is superb, with the sixth pitch being outstanding—a grey wall of positive holds. The descent is very scenic, wrapping around the entire mountain via a long traverse of ledges, well marked with cairns and arrows.
