5 Torri is one of the classic climbing areas in the Dolomites. Utilized for years as the area training ground for Alpine routes. Very picturesque and setting can be relaxing when you find it without a lot of people. However, the problem is that this area is very well known, and it is a circus most of the time. The easier routes are very polished, and if you climb on a warm day it can be nerve racking to get used to the slimy holds. The towers are well bolted, and there are lots of grades to choose from, but if you see a few people I would suggest you op for further up the pass.
