The routes

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...

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.

The icefall is comprised of two vertical sections that lead up a sunny rocky wall. A belay is equipped with bolts before the top of the first vertical section, on the right. The second pitch is more continuous with circa...

Nice line first ascended in 1983 by the forerunner of ice climbing Alessandro Jaccod. Beware of avalanche danger after heavy snowfall.

Short climb up a nice drip on the second pitch, in the unique Piantonetto surroundings. The climb necessitates long cold spells to come into condition. Those wishing to continue can combine it with the nearby route Incontro Generazionale.Details about a...

A bolted mixed pitch with a fair bit of ice. The traverse is demanding and delicate.

A new mixed outing up the extreme left-hand side of the North Face of   Monte Nero (Presanella). Climbed in 5 hours, as the name suggests the route was climbed with trad gear only, including the belays, and offers exciting,...

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...

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...

Great mixed climb in Val Travenanzes in the Dolomites; short but intense, established without bolts and pegs. The climb can be combined with the other ice climbs such as 'Pilone Centrale', 'Trans Travenanzes', 'Attraversando Travenanzes' or 'Il soffio di Horus'...

Long couloir, fun and a great training route, first ascended solo by Cristian Candiotto on 22/12/2007.

This drip is located in Valle della Pietra - Valle di Trona, a side valley of Val Gerola.

This winter climb follows an evident drip of ice up the entire face, past some mixed sections on the first pitches. It is often possibile to protect yourself on rock using Friends (we recommend an entire rack plus some micro friends)....

Nice icefall dedicated to Cristian Candiotto's future wife.

Mixed line which follows a logical rocky corner, just to the left of the pillar and “Questo gioco di Fantasmi”. The rock is friable in sections and at times both dirty and covered in grass, meaning that favourable ice conditions...

Great climb up Gran Flambeau, past thin ice and lots of mixed terrain.
