Chandelle Levure
Chandelle Levure - Gran Paradiso
II/4
Nice 180m icefall famous for the evocative amphitheatre it climbs through up its last pitch. This also happens to be perhaps the most interesting pitch of the entire route...
Chloë
Chloë
M6 WI 4 II
Extremely beautiful icefall, climbed without bolts or pegs. The dry tooling section can be protected well with friends and nuts. Once again the Cogne valley has provided amazing new excitement.
Ciampa
Ciampa - Monte Rosa
3+/4
Nice line first ascended in 1983 by the forerunner of ice climbing Alessandro Jaccod. Beware of avalanche danger after heavy snowfall.
Cold Couloir
Cold Couloir - Gran Paradiso
IV/4+
Cold couloir is a grand and magnificent climb, often in good conditions. The icefall is long and similar to routes at altitude. Most climbers reach the top of pitch 5 and then abseil off as the upper section proves less...
Cuori di ghiaccio
Cuori di ghiaccio - Grand Flambeau
TD+, M6/6+
Great climb up Gran Flambeau, past thin ice and lots of mixed terrain.
Dio li fa e poi li accoppia
Dio li fa e poi li accoppia - Valnontey - Cogne
WI5 M5+ 5c R X
Despite its unattractive appearance from below, each pitch offers beautiful, logical, fund and demanding climbing. Don't underestimate the difficulties because of the bolts, the route demands great trad climbing skills. Established ground-up, the aim was to leave it as trad...
Direttissima di Patry
Direttissima di Patry - Valnontey - Cogne
II/5,5+
Direttissima di Patry does not always form but, when it does, Mother Nature offers a true work of art which simply must be climbed. The drip wedged is in between the classic finish on the left and Candelone di Patri...
Drapeaux d’enfer
Drapeaux d’enfer - Trambesere
5+/6, M5+, X,II
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...
Eknaton
Eknaton - Gran Paradiso
III/4+
If you're lucky enough to follow a beaten track then the icefall is well worth the 2 hour walk-in, either on snowshoes or skis. The ambience is truly cold, but the last two sun-kissed pitches will remain etched in your...
En attendant Marlier
En attendant Marlier
5/III
Long and demanding icefall which usually has a drytooling start graded M7+. In 2009 a column of ice came into condition along the entire rock face, and the climb was therefore formed completely.
Erfaulet
Erfaulet - Valnontey - Cogne
III/4+
Evocative climb wedged into a gulley, Erfault should not be climbed in avalanche prone conditions after snowfall. The icefall offers an exciting 60m central drip which we recommend you climb in a single push instead of dividing it into two...
Exo-Ciuc
Exo-Ciuc - Valgrisenche
WI5/II
The name of the route refers to the far harder and more famous Exocet, the spectacular ice climb up Aguja Standart, in Patagonia. The waterfall is high avalanche risk in the event of heavy snowfall. The icefall is at risk...
Fallo di Plutone
Fallo di Plutone - Valnontey - Cogne
II/4
Beautiful and fun icefall despite its rather short length. Climb the first 80°/85° drip and belay on the right (bolt). The second 55/60m pitch leads to a bolt belay in a small cave, or to the left on two old...
Gianduiotto by night
Gianduiotto by night - Gran Paradiso
II/2
Eassy icefall in a great ambience. After the first step a long snow gully leads to the final pitch.
Gomorra
Gomorra - Grand Combin
II/3sx; II/3+dx
Ollomont and its icefalls are a real paradise, immersed in absolute peace and tranquility beneath Mont Vela and Grand Combin, far removed from the better known areas in the Aosta region. Gomorra is located to the right of Sodoma.
Goulotte Laratoun
Goulotte Laratoun - Grand Capucin
III/4+ M5
Fun climb in a great alpine setting close to the Grand Capucin.
