Via Ernia - Val di Ledro

Climbing Via Ernia (grade 6) on Cima Capi in Val di Ledro is a rewarding experience, offering stunning views and engaging climbing. This multi-pitch route provides a taste of classic limestone climbing with a focus on balance, technique, and thoughtful route finding. The rock is generally solid, although careful attention should be paid to the occasional loose hold. While technically not overly difficult, the route demands stamina and a good head for heights.

Expect varied climbing, from slabby sections requiring delicate footwork to slightly overhanging sections demanding more power. Protection is mostly good with well-placed bolts, but bringing a small rack of cams and nuts can provide peace of mind and allow you to supplement protection in certain areas. The crux pitches often involve navigating blank sections with small crimps and smears. The final pitches offer a sense of accomplishment as you top out with breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Ledro and the surrounding mountains.

Before tackling Via Ernia, ensure you have a solid understanding of multi-pitch climbing techniques, belaying, and rappelling. Be prepared for a full day out and bring plenty of water, snacks, and appropriate clothing. Check weather conditions beforehand as Cima Capi can be exposed to strong winds. A truly unforgettable experience for climbers seeking a moderate alpine adventure!
