Cima Tosa - Normal Route (II+) via the eastern flank (Kaminführe): The normal route to Cima Tosa has a lot to offer. You approach the mountain from the northwest, arguably its most spectacular side, and then, on the approach to the Rifugio Pedrotti, you'll enter one of the most beautiful and wildest Dolomite regions anywhere. Passing the Campanile Basso and the Crozzon di Brenta, to name just a few of the numerous bold peaks, you'll head into the heart of the Brenta range. Via the Bocca di Brenta, you reach the Rifugio Pedrotti. The actual summit ascent to Cima Tosa then proceeds from the southeast and is not difficult for long stretches (mostly grade I terrain). But a vertical band, crisscrossed by two forbidding chimneys, gives this peak a wild and somber appearance, presenting a challenge too great for most "normal Brenta visitors." Thus, on this tour—in the otherwise fairly well-visited Brenta—you'll generally have peace and quiet. Due to the poor protection and the required knowledge of rope technique, belay station construction, and abseiling, most people steer clear of the summit of Cima Tosa. Fortunately for all those who enjoy climbing the wonderful Dolomite peaks and are looking for precisely this kind of adventurous and pristine route.
