Climbing 'Ottovolante' (grade 8+) on the Bruneckerturm, specifically on its 'Mur de Pisciadu' face, is an experience reserved for experienced and strong climbers. This multi-pitch route, aptly named 'Rollercoaster' (Ottovolante in Italian), lives up to its name by offering a continuous and thrilling challenge. Graded 8+ (UIAA scale), it demands a high level of technical precision, endurance, and mental fortitude. The route weaves its way up the impressive Dolomitic rock, presenting a variety of climbing styles – from sustained crimpy sections to delicate slab moves and powerful overhangs. Each pitch holds its own specific cruxes, testing climbers' limits in a spectacular alpine setting. The exposure on the Bruneckerturm is immense, and the views of the surrounding Dolomites are breathtaking, making the ascent not just a physical feat but also a deeply aesthetic one. Successfully topping out on Ottovolante is a truly significant achievement, cementing its status as one of the most memorable and demanding routes in the region.
