The Nordostpfeiler Dalla Chiesa on the Östlicher Mur de Pisciadu is a classic alpine rock climb, offering a rewarding experience for climbers comfortable with grade 4- terrain. The route is known for its solid rock, exposed positions, and stunning views of the Dolomites. The climb generally follows a distinct ridge line, presenting a logical and enjoyable line. While not overly strenuous, the sustained nature of the route and the alpine environment require good route-finding skills and solid technique. Protection is generally good, with a mix of bolted belays and opportunities for placing trad gear. Expect several pitches of varied climbing, including slabs, corners, and short vertical sections. The descent typically involves rappelling and some downclimbing, so a good head for heights and competent rope handling are essential. The Dalla Chiesa is a popular route, especially during peak season, so an early start is recommended to avoid crowds and potential bottlenecks.
