Excalibur is undoubtedly the most beautiful icefall in the valley. Three steps connected together create an exemplary line, aesthetically perfect. The first drip which enters the water is highly characteristic... place protection immediately to avoid the cold bath!Sottoguda represents an...

First Time in Val Ombretta, opposite the south face of the Marmolada,l is not particularly long, but its two pitches are on excellent quality ice, set in a truly unique ambient. Given its altitude and the fact that it faces...

Interesting mixed climb on the north face of Monte Taburlo in the Ampezzo Dolomites. Three initial pitches, not particularly difficult but not to be underestimated, are followed by majestic ice pitches. The most exciting pitch is certainly the first frozen wall, 50 steep...

Interesting and fun drip at the start of Val Grande in a quiet setting. Although the route was climbed in two pitches, we suggest the second pitch is split into two.

Alpine outing up the north face of Focobon, offering great but somewhat severe climbing due to the poor pro. La Bestia is technically harder but offers more pro with cams on the rock. Both La Bella and La Bestia ascend...

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...

Alpine outing up the north face of Focobon, offering great but somewhat severe climbing due to the poor pro. La Bestia is technically harder but offers more pro with cams on the rock. Both La Bella and La Bestia ascend...

Beautiful and by no means easy ice climb with a slightly overhanging exit.

The ice climb Night Love rarely comes into condition but when it does, it offers fascinating climbing coupled with an extremely easy approach.

Mixed climb up the north of the Pelmo, established over 2 days. Pelmoon starts up the obvious gully to the right of Forca rossa gully. A bolt on the right gully wall has been placed at the start of the...

Mixed ice climb, protected by bolts on the lower section, put up in 2010 by Valentin Riegler and Hannes Lemayr and freed in winter 2013 by Martin and Florian Riegler.

The icefall is clearly visible when descending from Forcella Col dei Bos (2331m) towards beautiful Val Travenanzes: look up westwards just before Malga Travenanzes (1965m) to see the drip.Psyco Killer is a "perfect" line which, when in condition, stands out...

The marvellous icefall which falls directly down from the so-called Pelmo "throne" is impossible to ignore when driving up from Zoppè di Cadore or walking towards Rifugio Venezia A. De Luca (1946m). The icefall requires perfect temperatures due to its...
