Behind the refugio the track (a mixture of foot trails and 4 wheel drive roads) climbs to the small but beautiful Lago de Limo. From here the summit still looks a long way off. The track then climbs across the southern slopes of the mountain to reach a high shoulder from where you can look down on Cortina.
The route climbs directly from here to the summit, up a loose gravel ridge, with a small rock band to negotiate near the summit. The difficulty is never too great however. As with the other mountains we had climbed this week, the views from the summit were superb in all directions, in particular we could see the Tofana massif to the south and the route that we had walked earlier in the week Croda del Beco.
We returned the same way, taking our time to enjoy the scenery and stopping for a well deserved beer at Fannes for a late lunch.
