Aguja Val Biois

Description

Named after a valley in the Dolomites (Belluno province) where one of the first ascentionists, Bruno De Dona lives. Except for the striking goullote in the east face, there is little that deserve attention in this peak.

Climbing history

In 1978, not long after the first ascent, Argentines Alberto and Eduardo Tarditti, and Alejandro Randis climbed a secondary summit of Aguja Val Biois. They climbed 6 pitches (5/A1) from the col of the Bloque Empotrado at the base of the Goretta pillar. It is unclear where this summit is, perhaps is the shoulder right before the summit of Val Biois. They christened it Punta Lorena.
