Torre Quarta Alta, Normal Route
I climbed this route with Mauro Bernardi, after abseiling from top of Torre Quarta Bassa climbed by the via Normale. The pitch from the ledge where the two towers meet, can be climbed eiter b stemming up the corner a few meters, or as I climbed it directly onto the face and diagonally to the right to the first fixed piton. The second pitch is sometimes mentioned as a chimney, which in reality is a steeper right facing dihedral which is climbed by a single "chimney" move with the left shoulder against the side of the dihedral and a high step onto holds wit the right foot. This single move is the "crux" of this pleasant adventure

Torre Quarta Alta
Excellent little classic climb sharing the first two pitches with Via Normale of Torre Quarta Bassa. The routes can be combined.
