Climbing the "Schleierkante - Nord-Westkante" (5+) on Cima della Madonna is a rewarding alpine experience. This route, a classic on the mountain, offers sustained climbing on solid rock with exposure that adds to the adventure. Expect mostly face climbing with some crack and corner sections. The difficulty is consistent with the grade, demanding good technique and endurance. Protection is generally good, but some sections might require careful placement. The views from the route and especially the summit are breathtaking, stretching across the Brenta Dolomites. Be prepared for alpine conditions, including potential changes in weather, and plan your descent carefully as it involves rappelling and exposed traverses.
