Nice rock mountain between Cima Tosa and Brenta BassaIt has 3 walls and 2 ridges

Known almost only for its S vertical wall coloured in grey, yellow and black and well highlighted to the ones walking on the path between the Rifugio Agostini (Ambiez) and Rifugio Pedrotti.
The N side is a huge overhanging wall, very difficult, up to little more than half height, then becomes less steeper and not difficult but made of bad quality rock.
