The routes

El Chico" ascends the NNE Face of Pyramide Du Tacul and combines the routes "Pinelli-Sabbadini" and "Lenoir" to finish up the last pitch of the classic "Ottoz" route.

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...

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...

After some fun initial pitches, the route connects the snowy gully of Full Love... for dry and ice with the exit of the 1942 Livacic - Martinetti route, of which there is little news about "winter garb" repeats, apart from...

This winter outing, described by Griffith as "simply awesome" follows the upper half of a very rarely – if ever - repeated British route established in summer 1967 by James Fullalove and Brian Robertson with the use of difficult aid...

Eassy icefall in a great ambience. After the first step a long snow gully leads to the final pitch.

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.

The ice gully forms in the large cleft on the Parete Nascosta to the left of the summer rock route Madame Babette. The route climbs up interesting mixed sections and the crux 4th pitch climbs through an overhang. Three of...

Easy ascent at altitude. The fast approach and easy return render this an ideal climb to get to know the area.

Fun climb in a great alpine setting close to the Grand Capucin.

Nice climb at altitude. The fast approach and easy return render this a classic outing in the Mont Blanc range.

If there is snow cover the icefall is extremely dangerous. The third pitch is outstanding.

Happy Birthday winds its way up a long couloir, past ice runnels and compact snow up the righthand side of the south face of Aiguille de l'Évêque in the Grandes Jorasses group of the Mont Blanc massif. 1000m high, it...

Superb route in a grandiose ambience. An extremely satisfying climb. In particularly good seasons the first two pitches form a spectacular hanging drip (70m III 5+). This has happened twice in the last 15 years.

This short icefall finishes beneath the overhangs to the right of Candela di Senden and rarely comes into condition.

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.
