Ice Climbing Serrai di Sottoguda Gorge (Feb 2019)_

Serrai di Sottoguda Closure

Sadly having driven/walked to “Dollies” with main intention of climbing in the Sotto gorge, found the whole gorge is closed off.  Apparently the very severe weather before Christmas ’18 caused landslides to fill the gorge with boulders & trees (the whole hillside above is covered with fallen trees) and subsequently is dangerous to walk through and closed off at both ends.  

Not a wasted trip tough as there are so many other good ice venues in the area

In reply to Shag:

If it's any consolation, the gorge is relatively dry this year. I have just published some alternatives in the valley which you may be interested in - they are a bit more of a walk in though. http://www.casa-alfredino.co.uk/ice-climbing/ice-climbing-prezzi-pazzi-sect...

I have also been exploring close to the Fedaia Pass beneath the dam at the western end of the lake. There is a pretty reasonable 50m WI3+ just below the dam which is shaded and in a cold spot during the current Foehn wind. PM me if you want some details.
