The Dolomites Via della Giraffa

Watch Alex Walpoth and Titus Prinoth climb Via della Giraffa, Sass Ciampac, Puez in the Dolomites. The steep, exposed, long route made the climbers think of a giraffe’s neck. 

The route was established in 2002, sans bolts and was freed in 2005 at 5.12+. A fun and bold looking line.
