Description 

Climb up weaknesses to a right-trending ramp with leads to the belay shared with the first pitch of Fessura del Bonjo. 5b

Ascend broken face on good rock up then slightly left following the occasional bolt and old, unneeded fixed pins (some quite amusing). This pitch could be extended past the underhanging corner traverse right to a large stance below the final pitch, or, belay at the right facing corner then continue to the aforementioned stance. 5b/5c

Climb up a neat shallow bookish face, fairly straight up, on great rock, to the top of the route and the large ring belay. 6a

Location 

Located just to the left of Fessura del Bonjo on the right side of the right sector of Laghel.

Right of Aloha (7b).

Locate a crack/weakness with foliage above.

Rappel route. With a 60m rope, a rappel back to the last pitch belay anchor, then, a single 30m rappel to the ground from that anchor (past the first pitch belay spots for Fessura del Bonjo and Diretta Gobbi).

Protection 

Mostly bolted but supplimental pro can be had with a small selection of nuts/cams.

Anchors all fixed and all seem to sport unused old pins with some greenery growning out betwixt them (kinda purty).
