The routes

A route which rarely comes into condition. The ice is thin in places and this renders the climb demanding despite the fact that there are few vertical sections. The route faces south, takes a line up massive rock gradients and...

The setting for Gorillas im Nebel is awesome, wedged between the dark, mighty granite walls and the bizarre ice drips. A dreamline which, despite being mixed, has a high percentage of water ice.

Nice logical mixed line with delicate ice, first ascended with trad pro only. The route takes a line up the to the left of Zero 70, first ascended on 15/01/2010 by Giampiero Bertotti, Stefano dalla Gasperina, Enrico Bonino and Sofia...

Fascinating drip wedged into a narrow gully, located 80m to the right of Cascata Superbowl with which it shares the first pitch. The climb is dedicated to Camillo Zorzi from Cogollo del Cengio, a hunter from the Vicenza pre-Alps who...

Beautiful icefall located close to Lochere close to Lake Caldonazzo in the Valsugana, right at the start of the narrow Val Scura. This drip rarely, if ever, comes into contiona and since it's situated at a low altitude it offers...

The icefall is located in a gully just above Gressoney St. Jean, hidden up to today (perhaps) from indiscreet glances. Each of the three pitches of Wait and Bleed differ significantly from each other but each are particular and striking.

Obvious drip, clearly visible from the road which leads to Val Formazza. The icefall offers interesting, pleasant climbing close to a granite quarry and close to the Premia spa at Cadarese.

Pleasing and beautiful line which rarely comes into condition, according to the first ascentionists this climb is not to be missed. The climbing is varied and the crux second pitch involves climbing past the fangs to reach the final, less...

On 24 January 2006 Albert Leichtfried made the first ascent of "Illuminati", a 5 pitch mixed outing located in Val Lunga, close to Selva Gardena, N. Italy. The 30 year old Austrian has put forward the impressive grade M11+/WI 6+.Leichtfried...

One of the best icefalls in Switzerland. The three pitches are delicate, intricate and exposed, but nevertheless offer good protection.

A fabulous route which often remains in condition when the Föhn has already rendered icefalls unsafe lower down the valley. The route offers dream climbing along all five pitches.

Fantastic, pleasant and highly popular route as it is less extreme than other icefalls nearby.

The first of the big routes to be climbed in the Brunnital.

The masterline in the entire valley. In good conditions prepare for the queue. If the starting drip hasn't formed the route can still be climbed by starting up the bolted mixed line.

Beautiful icefall which unfortunately cannot be climbed very often as the right conditions are dictated by a series of different variables. The icefall can only be climbed in safety after an extended freeze and little fresh snow on the upper...

Il Domatore formed in winter 2009/10 thanks to the significant amount of rain which did not fall in previous seasons. The difficulty refers to the first ascent and may change considerably with more or less ice.
