Monfalcon di Cimoliana

Monfalcon di Cimoliana

Monfalcon di Cimoliana seen from Val Monfalcon di Forni. This is the main summit of a small dolomitic group called Monfalconi di Cimoliana that is composed by the following summits: Punta Koegel ( 2440 m ), Cima Veronica ( 2398 m ), Monfalcon di Cimoliana ( 2450 m ), Cresta del Leone ( main summit Cima Nord 2403 m ), Croda Ultima del Leone ( 2401 m ), Cima Stalla ( 2100 m ) and Cima Bianca ( 2175 ). This is a wonderful mountain that looks just like some peaks of the south-west of the United States and offers probably the best panorama of the Dolomiti d'Oltre Piave from its summit.

Do you have info of moderate climbing routes (UIAA IV-V)?
Anyway, beautiful picture!

Re: How...

Thank you very much!
The quality of the rock is good. There aren't much recent information about the climbing routes on this group, but I know that the normal route from south is about UIAA II/III. On that side there's a very difficult route through a big dihedral ( via Bianchini-Soravito, UIAA V and VI ) and another one through a series of chimneys ( via De Toni Soravito UIAA IV/V ). I think the owner of Rifugio Padova has a record of all the climbing routes of the dolomitic groups of Cridola, Monfalconi and Spalti di Toro. Anyway I'm sure that in this groups you would find a lot of routes for your taste, with the possibility to open new ones also.

Re: Bellisima...

Grazie alex, non abiti lontano da questi luoghi, ti consiglio di visitarli un giorno o l'altro, sono veramente di una bellezza unica, uguale e forse anche superiore a certe famose cime delle Dolomiti.
