Via dei Proiettili & Cengia Martini - Lagazuoi Piccolo
Two routes on the Lagazuoi Piccolo, straight above the Passo Falzarego. Both of them are named for the war: the Lagazuoi was front line between Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops, and the Cengia Martini is the equipped ledge that served as an Italian position, with barracks and firing points trained on the Sasso di Stria.
Lagazuoi Piccolo — Passo Falzarego
Via dei Proiettili (no. 96) — V-, 6 SL, 191 mCengia Martini (no. 95) — V, 5 SL, 175 m
Via dei Proiettili
V-, six pitches, 191 m. The rock is excellent — compact and dark, solid throughout. We ended up on a different variant to the one in the guidebook (V?), traversing right and then climbing a wet chimney. The route is not obvious.
Cengia Martini
V, five pitches, 175 m. We climbed the final two pitches out to the right, thanks to a bad topo, and landed in harder ground — VI. The poor topo sent us traversing a cracked seam into a chimney. The friction on that section was superb; you can tell hardly anyone ventures up there.
Logistics
Approach
Only 15–20 minutes from the Passo Falzarego.
Descent
Follow the equipped Cengia Martini ledge right to reach trail 402, and back down to the pass in around half an hour.
