Via Sesto Senso on Cima Capi, overlooking the stunning Val di Ledro and Lake Garda, is a captivating multi-pitch climbing experience that blends technical challenges with breathtaking scenery. Graded 6+/7- (French scale), this route presents a sustained challenge that is both engaging and rewarding. It's not a beginner's climb; climbers should be comfortable leading at this level, demonstrating good technique and endurance over multiple pitches.
The climb typically ascends excellent limestone, offering a mix of technical moves, engaging sequences, and perhaps some slightly more run-out sections, characteristic of routes in this region. Expect a varied climbing style, from slabs to vertical sections, demanding precision and a cool head. One of the major draws is the spectacular panoramic view. As you ascend, the Val di Ledro unfolds below, and the shimmering expanse of Lake Garda provides an incredible backdrop. The exposure on Cima Capi is palpable, adding to the adventurous feel.
A full rack, twin ropes (for rappels), and experience with multi-pitch strategies are essential. The descent usually involves a combination of rappels and a walk-off, requiring careful planning. Overall, Via Sesto Senso is a classic Cima Capi line, offering an unforgettable day of climbing that combines technical demands with breathtaking scenery, making it a highly sought-after ascent for intermediate to advanced climbers.
