Piz Badile - Cassin

Climbing the legendary Cassin route on Piz Badile's iconic North Face is a true test of alpine climbing prowess. Graded 6+ (UIAA VII-), this is a serious, committing undertaking that demands exceptional skill, endurance, and mental fortitude.

The route itself is a masterpiece of sustained granite climbing: steep corners, exposed slabs, and challenging cracks lead up the imposing face. The famous 'Traverse of the Gods' provides a particularly exhilarating, airy section. The high altitude and often unpredictable weather of the Bregaglia Alps add another layer of complexity, turning a technical climb into a true expedition.

Success on the Cassin route is a profound achievement, offering unparalleled views and the deep satisfaction of having ascended one of the Alps' most revered big walls. It's a climb that stays with you long after you've returned to the valley, a testament to the power of human ambition against the majesty of nature.
