Climbing in the Dolomites Bellunese

By Claudio Cima A short and modest practice wall for the training periods is that of sassi delle "Masière" of Mas, with different difficulties. It is not attended and the position is nice. The Schiara Group should be - and actually is - the "mountain of Belluno" but there haven't been climbers for ages, perhaps afraid of the long ways (to Rif. VII Alpini, more than 2 hours; to the other shelters, 2 further hours...). It was once very attended. Anyway:

• Gusèla del Vescovà, 40 m high, is always a little IVth degree classic way;

• well known is "Spigolo del Dottoròn" on the Seconda Pala del Balcòn, III+;

• advisable is the Goedeke on the Terza Pala (Anticima), IV, or the NW wall of Schiara, Via Sommavilla, IV- or, moreover, the short Campanile Andrich along the Normal Way, III;

• on the Rif. Bianchèt slope, reachable from Val Vescovà, we only recall Via Gianneselli-Carlin on Nasòn, V.
