The British Route on Pizzo Badile repeated by Silvan Schüpbach and Peter von Känel on 17/03/2022. The famous Direttissima was the scene of one of the most important episodes in the history of female mountaineering when from 11 to 15 February 1982 the Czechoslovakians Zuzana Hofmanová and Alena Stehlíková made the first female ascent and also first winter ascent. Italy’s Fabio Valseschi made the first winter solo of the route in 2008.
