Starting from Rifugio Croda da Lago (we recommend to reach it by 4x4 Jeep service from Cortina) we follow a nice dirt trail up to Forcella Ambrizzola overlooking the wide Mondeval plateau. Following the ridge east towards the border we reach a large rock; then we continue on a sketchy unstable trail to the start of the route (about two hours from the rifugio).
The first length overtakes a short grade 3 face and up to the chained belay. The second length crosses to the right and reaches a 12 meter chimney at 3+ level of difficulty. We belay on a chain. The third length overtakes a short cliff. The fourth length crosses to the right (the color marks are not quite visible) on a narrow ledge and a few cliffs. Following along the ending ridge we reach the summit, paying attention to large unstable rocks.
An interesting alternate route consists in climbing straight up on the nice grade 3 face, belaying on a spur, then following the ridge to the top.
We come down along the upward trail we previously took, lowering on chains with double ropes.
