Climbing the "Westriss - Pilastro di Misurina" (grade 4+) on the Pilastro di Misurina is a classic alpine adventure. This route, while not overly difficult in terms of technical climbing (4+ UIAA), demands respect and careful planning due to its exposed position, sustained nature, and potential for objective hazards. The Pilastro itself is an impressive rock formation, offering stunning views of the surrounding Dolomites, particularly the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The climbing typically involves engaging, enjoyable crack and slab climbing, requiring solid footwork and confident movement. Protection is generally good, though some sections may necessitate placing your own gear. A successful ascent requires a good level of fitness, alpine experience, and the ability to navigate and manage the route independently. The approach can be long and demanding, and weather conditions in the Dolomites can change rapidly, so checking the forecast and being prepared for all eventualities is crucial. The reward, however, is an unforgettable experience on a iconic peak.
