Climbing "Cesco Tomaselli" (Grade D) on the Tofana di Rozes is a truly memorable experience. This classic Via Ferrata offers a fantastic blend of exhilarating exposure and manageable difficulty, making it a great choice for experienced hikers looking to push their comfort zone. While rated 'D', meaning 'Difficult', the route features a continuous cable for security, allowing climbers to tackle vertical sections and exposed traverses with confidence. The views from the route are simply breathtaking, stretching across the Ampezzo Valley and encompassing iconic Dolomite peaks. Expect sections that require upper body strength, particularly when pulling yourself up steeper parts of the ferrata. Good fitness and prior experience with Via Ferratas are highly recommended. Check weather conditions carefully before heading out as mountain weather can change rapidly. Remember to bring appropriate gear: harness, Via Ferrata set, helmet, gloves, and sturdy hiking boots. Descending is typically done via a marked trail, which can be equally challenging due to loose scree. Overall, "Cesco Tomaselli" is a rewarding climb that offers an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Dolomites.
