MARMOLADA PUNTA PENIA

Access: From Fedaia go up the path that leads directly to the glacier from the exit of the binway to Pian dei Fiacconi.

Description of the ascent: From Pian dei Fiacconi go up the lower part of the glacier first to the right and then to the left. Describe a wide semicircle to the right and with some turns to form an S climb the upper plateau (Pian dei Fiacchi), overcoming snow bridges, passing through wide and deep crevasses that have been discovered in recent years, towards the rock wall. Carefully cross the wide end crevasse and reach the debris ramp with wire rope. Climb the long rocky channel via I and II grade rocks to the right for about 200 m, taking care not to drop stones on the ropes below (the iron rungs for insurance were connected with a wire so now the route is fully equipped as a via ferrata). Exit on the ridge at a dropout and go left up the snowy hump (Schen de Mul, ridge at the beginning of the season, flat frozen hump and with debris at the end of the season), with possible cornices on the left at the beginning of the season, paying attention to the ice slide that descends to the right towards the north wall, to the summit cross.
