Dolomites
Overview
Quarta Torre Bassa South Face
Quarta Torre Bassa is one of the smaller towers in Cinque Torre. This route on its south face is short and pleasant. Nestled between the other towers it is somewhat protected from the wind and facing south it catches whatever sun is available making it a good choice on less than ideal days.
