The Catinaccio group (Rosengarten-Gruppe in German or Ciadenac in Ladin) is a massif of the Dolomites, situated between the Valle di Tires/Tierstal, the Val d’Ega/Eggental and the Val di Fassa, partly protected by the Parco Naturale dello Sciliar/Naturpark Schlern, one of the seven Natural Parks of South Tyrol.
Catinaccio – Rosengarten peak trad climbing:
One of the peculiar characteristics of the Catinaccio is the pink color that the rocks take on at dawn and dusk. This phenomenon is due to the chemical composition of the walls of the Dolomites, which are of course composed of a rock known as Dolomite, formed of double calcium carbonate and magnesium, reflecting the low rays of the sun. In the Ladin language, this phenomenon takes the name of ‘enrosadira’ – a word which literally means ‘becoming pink’.
The Catinaccio is a complex summit showing different climbing sides. It counts about 70 routes.
The Normal Route: PD, 250 m. – F. Devouassoud, C. Tucker and T.H. Carson August 1874. An amusing easy classic trad climb on solid rock.
