Climbing the "Lange Kante (Ostkante)" (Grade 3) on Southwestern Parzinnturm is a classic alpine rock climb, offering a rewarding experience for climbers of moderate ability. The route generally follows a prominent, long ridge (hence "Lange Kante", meaning "Long Edge") up the eastern face (Ostkante). Expect sustained scrambling and climbing on relatively solid rock, with occasional exposure. Grade 3 typically involves straightforward climbing with good holds, but requires careful route finding and placing adequate protection. The climb offers fantastic views of the surrounding Dolomites, making it a memorable adventure. Be prepared for changing weather conditions, as alpine environments can be unpredictable. A helmet, harness, rope, and a standard rack of climbing gear are essential. Careful planning and assessment of your skills and experience are crucial before attempting this climb.
