Vecioti e Zovenoti - Col Pelous

Vernel Gully - Marmolada - Vernel 



WI 4/ M/ R/II
A great gully set in a quiet and beautiful environment which is reminiscent of the gullies in the Western Alps, more than the classic icefalls in the Dolomites. The route alternates vertical ice, short snow patches and mixed sections which...

Vertigine di Porcellana - Gran Paradiso 



II/3 (D+)
Vertigine di Porcellana is a great classic, much repeated as it is almost always in condition.The icefall receives the sun for circa 1.30 hours and is recommended when there is little snow or the snow pack has settled since, like...

Wait and Bleed - Gressoney St. Jean 



II/ 4+/5, 5b, M5
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.

Wind of Change - Monte Nero di Presanella 



M6+WI5
A very beautiful mixed outing, both complete and demanding: rock and mixed climbing leads to a small ledge on the left and then, around the corner, a beautiful corner rises sharply upwards. This is followed by another, with a thin...

Zahnlos - Seekofel

Zanna Bianca - Forra del Vinadia 



WI 7- M7+

Zia Mia - Forra del Vinadia
