ACCESS
From the East Gardesana highway, at the boundary of the province of Trento and Verona, begins the tunnel that protects from the stone. After going ahead a gate, climb on the roof of the tunnel which runs southwards 500 meters long.
Mountaineer route on solid rock and very satisfactory on an environmental point of view, for the length and the lake view. The route is attended by a lot of climbers and it seems that it has been equipped by some bolts recently. The return is in rappel along the climbing route.
At the beginning the route goes along an eroded couloir which has to be climbed about 300 meters (II and III); at the end, cross a small trail used by ENEL to control the electricity pylons. In this specific point you are at the base of a big slab of smooth rocks that you can pass in their middle in friction climbing (50° slope).
