Hasn't voted | ... that by the ledges we see, the normal ascent on Punta Sorapiss goes? | | Posted Nov 2, 2005 4:58 pm |

Hasn't voted | .... At least if you can trust Gino Buscaini. In his book about the normal routes in the Dolomites he has a topo showing the ascent route from the north (much like on Gab's large pict on the Cristallo page). Look there and you'll see some snowfields - from the topo you have to climb across them (or to their left side) into the high valley and then follow a long ledge towards the notch to the left of the summit. However you stay below the ridge and top out almost directly on the higher summit.
I must say I am confused because Buscaini's written description sounds quite different. I'll have to grab a map to see what he is talking about... | | Posted Nov 3, 2005 1:22 am |

Hasn't voted | That's probably the ascent from the north. But I have a description of a descent from the south (III+/I-II). Anyway, we need a good Sorapiss page :-(( | | Posted Nov 3, 2005 1:58 am |

Hasn't voted | I must look but I think I have a map - I can make you a schematic one. | | Posted Nov 3, 2005 5:04 am |

Voted 10/10 | OK, I'll start writing the sections and when they'll be ready I'll post the page ... it will take 2 or 3 evenings ... :) | | Posted Nov 3, 2005 6:41 am |

Voted 10/10 | Vid, along those ledges there is the "hiking" route (ferrata) that leads to Bivacco Slataper starting from Faloria.
So it is only an approach route to Sorapiss along the western walls of Fopa di Mattia and Croda Marcora (two of the main Sorapiss' summits)
The normal route of Sorapiss (from south) is behind those ridges and is a tiring route along debris and easy rocks with only one "difficult" (II UIAA) passage (25-30m) along a chimney. | | Posted Nov 3, 2005 5:15 pm |
