About This Route
Lagazuoi (2,778m) west face near Passo Falzarego features via ferrata-linked sport climbs and multi-pitch like 'Via della Grande Cascata' (5.10, 6 pitches). WW1 tunnels add history; cable car access shortens approach. CAI logs highlight its mix of protected slabs and cracks amid Passo Falzarego views.
Safety Considerations
Tunnel collapses and old war debris; stick to marked paths, report hazards to CAI. High winds whip rockfall; climb mornings only. Rappel anchors wear; inspect for grooves before trusting. Partner checks vital: confirm ferrata lanyard backups and dynamic belays. Thunder risk peaks 1 PM; pack rain gear.
Essential Gear
70m rope, via ferrata set (Edelrid), cams/nuts hybrid rack, helmet, gloves for cables.
Emergency Tips
Wind exposure: huddle low, call 112. Rifugio Lagazuoi 20 mins up for rescue staging.
