Trip: Cortina, Italy - Punta Fiames, Spigolo Jori (5.8)

 

Date: 6/1/2008

 

Trip Report:

The "Jori" ridge on Punta Fiames is visible from Cortina as a knife edge on the left side of the Pomagagnon cliffs. It's a really nice climb, about 15 pitches with 4 pitches of sustained 5.7-5.8 on the upper part of the ridge. There is nice crack and chimney climbing, and the views dropping off into the abyss are amazing!

 

The route shares the first 5 pitches with another line, the "normal" route on the mountain which is 5.6, and has nice looking vertical chimney climbing (I was admiring that climb from belay ledges).

 

Bolted belays, but otherwise only occasional pitons. Large cams are helpful. Here are some pics:

Always nice scenery on the side of the ridge

Gear Notes:

Take an "Outer Space" rack, but emphasis on larger cams.

 

Approach Notes:

Just do it in good weather! We tried the day before and literally climbed a frightening pitch on the _wrong mountain_. It was raining too. We were idiots.
