Climbing "Torre Quarta Alta Bassa - Normalweg" (Grade 4) on Torre Quarta Alta is a fantastic introduction to alpine rock climbing in the Dolomites. The route, often translated as "Normal Route", typically follows a logical line up the face, utilizing cracks, corners, and ledges to gain elevation. The grade 4 (UIAA) indicates moderate difficulty, manageable for climbers with some experience in outdoor rock climbing. Expect sustained climbing requiring good footwork, stemming, and hand jamming techniques. While the rock is generally solid, some sections may require careful assessment. Protection is often a mix of fixed pitons and opportunities for placing your own gear (cams and nuts). The views from the summit are breathtaking, rewarding the effort with panoramic vistas of the surrounding Dolomite peaks. The descent typically involves rappelling, making knowledge of proper abseiling techniques essential.
