A steep and interesting sport route, perfect on hot days.
Beware of some loose handholds; the rock has not been cleaned yet, because of the few repetitions

Approach
From Corvara (Alta Badia), take the Boé cable car and the Vallon chairlift, then follow the signs for the Vallon via ferrata. Shortly before the starting point of the VF, traverse left to the bottom of the first pitch (gray slab – visible bolts).

P4: 6c+/7a, 25m – steep and sustained, beautiful
P5: 6b, 20m – steep start, then easier
P6: 6b, 20m – easy, then steep on unreliable rock

Descent
With 2 x 60m ropes: 3 abseils (2 long ones and then 35 m along the first pitch)
