400m, 11 pitches. Superb alpine climb in the austere setting of the Piantonetto Valley, the granit kingdom within the Gran Paradiso National Park. 11 long and vertical pitches taking up the line of corners to the left of the Torre Staccata (Detached Tower). Bolted belays, few pegs on the pitches (mainly in the top half), abseiling on the belays of “Nel Corso del tempo” as it’s more slabby with less risk of ropes getting stuck. Lots of UK 5b moves, some 5c passages and an A1 pitch (P6). Northwest expo means you want a warm day. Snow fields on the approach typically until mid/end June, crampons can be a good idea (info from Rifugio Pontese, amazing cooking).
