I took this photo looking right (i.e. SSE) from the trail connecting the arrival of the cable car and Rifugio Rosetta (Pedrotti). Cima Roda is the first shorter and elongated peak in front of the majestic Pala di San Martino.

View of the arete (Spigolo-Castiglioni-Battisti) all the way up to Cima Roda peak from the ziz-zagging approach trail N. 702 leading from Rifugio Rosetta down to the traversing gravel ledge.

The traversing gravel ledge at 2,440m leading from downill trail N. 702 to the arete (i.e. Spigolo Castiglioni-Battististi) visible up ahead on the left

Photo taken by the leader in my party (and posted with his permission) looking down the chimney toward the alcove belay at the start of pitch 6

Pitch 8 top: looking climber left from the alcove belay: the log book is hiding down in the right corner

Pitch 4: continue first on the scenic easy arete on the right, then on the gully aiming at the very visible higher arete on the left (pitch 5) leading to the crux chimney (pitch 6) and then the sustained face (pitch 7) also barely visible

View looking down climber-left from the belay station toward the bottom of pitch 4 (where another barely visible climber is about to start)

Pitch 3 top: belay at 2 glued-in rings at the right side of a gully (on the left face of the arete)

Picture taken by my partner (and posted with his permission) looking down from the top of pitch 8 just as I was getting above the crux chimney

Picture taken by my partener (and posted with his permission) looking down from the top of pitch 7 while I was on the sustained wide face

View looking climber-left from the belay at the start of pitch 7: avoid that side of the chimney/dihedral (more poor rock quality and more vertical) and stay right instead

Picture taken by my climbing partner (and posted with his permission) on the belay ledge at the top of pitch 6

Pitch 6: start of the chimney. The crux is further up where one is forced out a bit on it right face

Pitch 1 top: view climber-left from the belay

Near the top of pitch 9 while I was coming out of the easy end of the chimney (photo by my partner at the belay and posted with his permission)

Pitch 3 top: view looking climber-right. One case see the top of Pala di San Martino on the other side of the arete. (photo take by my climbing parter and posted with his permission)

Photo taken by my partner (and posted with his permission) from the top of pitch 3 looking down on this very easy (and scenic) part of the arete.

Half way through pitch 3, i.e. when reaching the arete after the chimney, one starts to see the majestic Pala di San Martino looking climber-right on the other side (South-East) of the arete.

Pitch 2 top: looking climber-right from the belay one can see the continuation of the large belay ledge and the pinnacles on the arete, and the big Pala di San Martino much further back on the left

Climber just made the first exposed move on the right from the belay alcove at the start of pitch 9

Pitch 1 top: belay at the large spike with a long cordolette

Pitch 1: looking right from the start one can see the big arete: climb the entire pitch 1 stay left of that arete... and then traverse toward it in pitch 2.

Pitch 2 : right after a very short vertical start one can see the easier horizontal traverse to the pinnacles ledge on the arete.

Photo taken by my belayer (and posted with his permission) from the alcove belay at the top of pitch 5 under the crux chimney

Pitch 5 top: belay at 2 glued-in rings on an alcove at the bottom of the crux chimney of pitch 6

not a bad way to rehydrate and recover some energies at Rifugio Rosetta, after a climb on Cima Roda (disclaimer: I do not work for the rifugio nor do I have any financial interests in their business)

Pitch 1 starts on top of the slanted gravel terrain, i.e. where the wall gets more vertical. The rope starts actually lower for the 5.0 I scramble up the gravel from the traversing ledge trail. On the far right: one of the pinnacles on the arete.
