Two new mixed climbs on Mëisules dala Biesces (Sella, Dolomites)

In December 2023 on Mëisules dala Biesces (Sella Group, Dolomites) Rolando Varesco made the first ascents of the mixed climb 'Alpinewelten' with Martin Sölva and 'Dünnes Wasser' with Emanuele Andreozzi.

While repeating the ice climb Dragon, I noticed on the opposite side on Mëisules dala Biesces two new drips that did not touch the ground. I immediately reckoned that the first mixed pitches could be interesting, so two days later I contacted Martin Sölva and we started up the first line on the left. The result was a beautiful first pitch up an overhanging crack which we graded M6, and a second ice pitch graded WI 4+.

Two days later Emanuele Andreozzi and I climbed the drip on the right, which provided us another beautiful, physical pitch through an overhanging crack with excellent hooks and excellent protection, graded M6+. The second pitch was far less physical, and turned out to be technical and delicate, circa M5 and WI 5 with a few meters of loose and unprotectable ice, which fortunately improved as we got higher. We called the two routes Alpinewelten and Dünnes Wasser respectively.
