Opened in 1935 by Riccardo Cassin and Vittorio Ratti, this route offers another classic option on Torre Trieste. The pitches are generally easier but more consistent than the adjacent Carlesso route. The rock is somewhat friable, especially in the initial part, but has been cleaned through frequent repetitions.
