Approach
Just on the Val Gardena side of Passo Sella, there are a few small carparks. From here, an obvious trail leads to the base of the North Face.
Descent Notes
**Part 1**
a) Abseil from summit: To the right of the saddle between 1st/2nd towers, follow the ridge ~30m to an abseil (40m).
*OR*
b) Descent by the "Via Normale" From the summit, follow the obvious path that leads to the saddle between the First and Second Sella Towers, then continue around the 2nd Tower, following the rock piles/cairns.
At a crossroads, take the path that turns right down the steep gully towards the valley. There are points where downhill climbing is required, never higher than II.
**Part 2**
Here the abseil and the Via Normale join up again. Shortly before the base of the wall, the trail separates to the left and right. To the right, there are two abseil anchors (top 35m, bottom 25m). To the left there is a downclimb (grade II).
Once at the base, follow the path to the right to return to the parking lot.
