Sassolungo di Cibiana, Mountain summit in Gruppo del Bosconero, Veneto, Italy.
Sassolungo di Cibiana is a 2,413 m mountain of the Bosconero Group in the Dolomites, in the province of Belluno, Veneto. It rises above the village of Cibiana di Cadore. Its north wall carries several climbing routes, including the Crepaz-Gobbo on the north-west pillar (300 m, grades III–V), the Bianchi-Urban or direct north (500 m, III–IV) and the Casara-Canal-Stefani-Panozzo on the left side of the wall (450 m, IV).
The sources document no climbing history for Sassolungo di Cibiana; the earliest recorded routes are the twentieth-century climbs on the north wall, such as the Crepaz-Gobbo on the north-west pillar (300 m, grades III–V), the Bianchi-Urban or direct north route (500 m, III–IV) and the Casara-Canal-Stefani-Panozzo line on the left side of the wall (450 m, grade IV).
The mountain overlooks the village of Cibiana di Cadore, in the province of Belluno, and the normal route to the summit starts from Passo Cibiana at 1530 m, passing Forcella Impradida, also called Forcella Bella Alta. The climb takes about four hours.
The normal route starts at Passo Cibiana (1530 m) and climbs the western flank via ledges and steps through Forcella Impradida, also called Forcella Bella Alta, at grade I and II; allow about 4 hours. The north wall holds longer rock itineraries, such as the 300 m Crepaz-Gobbo on the north-west pillar (III, IV, V).
The north face holds three named climbing routes: Crepaz-Gobbo on the north-west pillar (300 m, grades III–V), Bianchi-Urban or direct north (500 m, III–IV), and Casara-Canal-Stefani-Panozzo on the left side of the wall (450 m, grade IV). The normal route instead avoids the face, climbing ledges and steps on the west side from Passo Cibiana.
