Climbing dimension IV

General information

Many consider this to be the optimum grade as it pretty much embodies the history of Dolomite climbing. Though the routes may seem frighteningly vertical when viewed from the valley floor, the closer you get, the more weak points you’ll discover to take advantage of: dihedrals, chimneys, labyrinths and then all of a sudden, before you know it, you’ll have reached the summit!
