Starting point is the village Cimolais, where I drive into the Cimoliana valley. The trail start is at the Campol bridge where before the bridge to the left branches off a road closed to public traffic, which soon ends and turns into a nice trail that first takes me to a path junction (cas. Lodina left), where I go right to the Compol stream, cross the bed with beautiful pools that on the return are a real balm for the sweaty body and tired legs.
The ascent to the bivouac Paolo Greselin is steep and strenuous, the continuation pure pleasure in both hiking and climbing in solid Dolomitic rock. The hardest spot is roughly midway from the bivouac to the summit, good II. On descent some fixed anchors help and a rope in the lower part. Views indescribably beautiful, in short a tour that fills a person with a heaped dose of the purest primality of mountains.
Guidebooks recommend a two-day tour, I reached the summit in just over 4 h, but saw everything possible to see. A mountain worth visiting many more times.
As I already wrote, on the return I bathed in one of the beautiful pools, later sat for a few hours by the Cimoliani stream and towards evening drove to the Pordenone hut.

Well, to revive this already ohoho years old topic from the pen of the late Igor.
Yesterday I was up there, on the old normal route past the bivouac (right variant). Ascent to Preti in one day is definitely a very strenuous tour, but doable. To bivouac very steep and strenuous, onwards nice. Unfortunately fog building mid-day, but summit was clear. On descent in long gully didn't want to risk too much and did all 5 rappels (which takes time of course). Difficulty no more than II, but difficulties drag on (not just one hard spot) and the thing is quite steep and exposed. Probably better descent options exist (left variant or even to Compol notch), but visibility quite problematic, so smartest decision to follow the route we ascended. In short, demanding and strenuous but beautiful tour, not first nor last time in these parts.
