Sass Maor
Sass Maor is a mountain in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol of northern Italy.
Description
Sass Maor is a summit in the Pale di San Martino group of the Dolomites. The peak is located five kilometers southeast of San Martino di Castrozza mountain resort, and the peak is within Paneveggio-Pale di [San Martino Natural Park], a UNESCO [World Heritage Site]. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Cismon. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,700 meters above the Cismon in 2.5 kilometers, and 1,200 meters above the Rio Pradidali in one kilometer. The nearest higher neighbor is Cima Canali, 1.77 kilometers to the northeast. The mountain's toponym translates from Ladin language as "Great Stone" or "Big Rock." The first ascent of the summit was accomplished on September 4, 1875, by Henry Awdry Beachcroft, Charles Comyns Tucker, François Devouassoud, and Battista Della Santa via the Sass Maòr–Cima della Madonna gap.Climbing
