The routes

A pleasant and logical mixed climb to the right of the famous Anche l’Orco va in vacanza (Even the Ogre Goes on Holiday). Overall, the difficulty is moderate, but the line is very enjoyable, a perfect combination with the other icefalls nearby. It certainly deserves...

I 3 Orchi, the The 3 Orcs, is a beautiful mixed climb close to Sappada. The first two pitches follow L’orco va in vacanza. Pitch three crosses curtains, drips and some cauliflower-like formations. Reach the belay after a delicate traverse. According to...

4Matic is a moderate, never particularly demanding ice climb on Laaser Ferner Wand. It can be considered an interesting alternative to the existing routes, Defender and Blue Wave (both established by Roland Math and Thomas Hofer, 2016). Laaser Ferner is a...

A pleasant couloir on Aiguille du Toula just a stone's throw from the Skyway cable car. Five fun pitches on ice, compressed snow and some mixed pitches.

Interesting modern mixed climb to the left of the historic summer route Schwarze Wand and, in winter, the Mur de Pisciadù Eisfall.

This striking dihedral/corner had caught my attention a few times in the past, but I could never see much ice and so I never managed to explore it. However, when Mathieu flew over it with his paraglider and got a good view of how...

A pleasant narrow couloir just a stone's throw from the Skyway cable car. Six pitches lead past difficulties in the region of TD-, M6 and AI4+ to the 3,534-meter summit of Aiguille de Toule.

Beautiful and by no means easy ice climb with a slightly overhanging exit.

Beautiful and by no means easy ice climb that ascends the drip its the left.

Cataluña Express starts with a mixed pitch which without cams becomes even more satisfying, and then finishes more easily up water ice.

A magnificent mixed climb with superb quality rock on the east face of the huge shield on Mont Noir de Peutérey. Every pitch is worth climbing and highly satisfying.

Top-class line on the north-east face of Crozzon di Val d'Agola, with beautiful climbing, at times quite difficult and exposed.

Interesting mixed climbing on the NE Face of Mont Noir de Peuterey. Pitches of ice and compact snow lead to into the steep snow couloir, while the upper section provides pleasant mixed climbing through the gully to reach the ridge...

Beautiful and varied mixed climb on Elferkofel / Cima Undici in the Sexten Dolomites. The route climbs an obvious up to the Cengia degli Alpini ledge and ends here.  Thos ewishing to repat the route are advised to take cams,...

Not a particularly difficult ice climb but in a wild mountain environment with a complex and long approach in the Saint-Barthélemy valley in the Aosta Valley.

Ein Tag zum Träumen, a dream day. Probably the longest ice climb in the entire Langental, it receives the sun almost all day. Perfect conditions are needed to make an ascent possible.
