The routes

Established by Massimo Da Pozzo and Pier Francesco Smaltini in September 2012, La beffa (the joke) gets it's name from the fact that the drill batteries dies two bolts short of the summit, forcing Mox to return to finish off...

A beautiful, sustained and demanding route up the steep wall above the Grotta della Tofana. On excellent rock, this is perhaps one of the easiest of Massimo Da Pozzo’s modern offerings.

"The steepest multi-pitch climb I’ve ever established!" This is how Simone Pedeferri describes La Divina Commedia, the fascinating climb at Buco del Piombo in Valle Bova in Northern Italy together with another Ragni di Lecco member, Luca Schiera. Pedeferri’s words...

La Gana tla Pera on the south face of Neunerspitze / Sasso delle Nove provides beautiful slab climbing on excellent rock, between the famous Messner route and Somnium.

La gioia nel silenzio, the joy you find in silence, is a satisfying, fairly isolated route which offers varied climbing: crimps, pockets, technical slabs and powerful overhangs. The start is difficult to find since there are no paths, apart from...

Great modern alpine sports climb on Castelletto della Tofana di Rozes first ascended from the ground up. It is completely equipped with 10 mm bolts.

In mid-September the Italian Rolando Larcher 2002 made the first ascent of the "La Grande Onda - Big Wave". Located deep in the Dolomites on the Torre Sprit, this 500m route clocks in at 8a. According to Larcher this...

La Guerriera was established after having discovered the line abseiling off Sguardo al Passato. 9 pitches and 290m lead to the top of the route, circa 150m short of the summit which...

La lingua pura is perhaps my finest multi-pitch route to date. The route quality is outstanding and alternates a series of tufas and compact corners to climb the impressive North Face of Monte Monaco high above San Vito lo Capo...

On 28 August 2008 Mountain Guide Nicola Tondini completed the first ascent of his "La perla preziosa" up the beautiful West Face of Sass dla Crusc in the heart of the Italian Dolomites. Tondini spent a total of five days...

Piccozza nella Roccia provides 10 pitches, almost all circa 50m long, up Cima Principale degli Sfulmini in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites. All belays are equipped with pegs and threads, but on the pitches only pegs and cams were uses....

A very beautiful route, the first on an equally beautiful face hidden deep within the  Fanes park, in a quiet, sunny and remote environment. The climb is indeed a real Raieta, the legendary Fanes gem. The route tackles the left...

Pleasant easy route up weathered rock that climbs compact slabs, corners and short walls. Set in a unique and impressive ambient, this route has been equipped and carefully cleaned and is ideal for beginners.

Pleasant route up excellent quality slabs and cracks, with some technical sections in wild surroundings.

A modern route to the right of Via degli Scoiattoli, slightly easier than nearby Via Falcone e Borsellino. Bolted on lead, it is well worth repeating thanks to its excellent quality rock and climbing.

Sustained sport climb up excellent rock which requires special care only on the Vi pitch. Pitch 4 is the highlight, with a difficult crux followed by continuous, tiring and elegant climbing. Established ground-up over a series of days without any...
