Vollkasko

Climbing "Vollkasko" (grade 7) on the Kreuzmauer 1. und 2. Turm is a truly rewarding alpine experience. This route, a modern classic in the Dolomites, offers a captivating journey up steep, exposed rock. Despite its intriguing name, which translates to "full comprehensive insurance," it demands focus and precise movement, though it is generally well-protected with bolts where needed, making it feel relatively secure for its grade. The climbing is varied and engaging, featuring everything from technical slab sections requiring delicate footwork, to powerful moves on steeper, more exposed faces, and sometimes intricate crack systems. The rock quality is typically excellent, providing solid holds and reliable friction. As you ascend, the panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape become increasingly breathtaking, adding to the immersive and memorable nature of the climb. Reaching the summit of the tower offers an immense sense of accomplishment, overlooking the impressive pitches below. "Vollkasko" is highly recommended for climbers confident at the 7th grade (UIAA VII), seeking a challenging yet beautifully situated and well-equipped multi-pitch adventure.
