The ascent to the Mount Pelmo is long and exposed in some sections. You need to be used to walk on delicate terrain with scree and rocks and on exposed ledges with many climbing sections that have difficulties up to I and II grade.
You need a very good basic physical condition!
Monte Pelmo is considered one of the great rock domes in the Zoldo Dolomites. The best known and easiest ascent is on the south-east flank. The route still offers a rewarding, but long and strenuous mountain tour in the II grade of difficulty.
The lower part of the ascent runs over an airy rocky band: the cengia di Ball or ball band.
Already the first climber Sir John Ball had to pass a 7 meter long crawl, therefor the name “cengia di Ball”.
