Corvara: Day Nine – Sassongher

August 18, 2015

Sassongher 2665m

Via Feratta: 100m Grade 1A

Today we decided to go up Sassongher. There is a via feratta which is described as more like a scramble or a protected walk with a few wires in place. We went up the cable car from Colfosco to Col Pradat. The cafe at the top was amazing with fusions and furs on the seats. At that point the sun was out and we dalyed a bit in the sun. It has been a bit lacking this week. The then traversed round to the ridge walked up to the col and the pen the final push to the top. It did cloud over but we were lucky enough to get a clear view on the top. We had a bit of rain later but we were dry when we got back to the car.
