The routes

This new bolt route is sustained but never particularly difficult. These two characteristics, combined with its setting and excellent rock, ensure that Spitagoras will become very popular.

'Great climbing, demanding, up good rock, at times excellent.' This is the description of Stigmata, the climb established ground-up by Simon Gietl and Andrea Oberbacher to the left of the famous Livanos Pillar on Heiligkreuzkofel, the mountain that dominates Val...

Wonderful slab climb, never too difficult but not to be underestimated. Great quality rock, solid and with lots of holds. Established ground-up with bolts and pegs. All the gear used during the first ascent has been left insitu. The pro...

One of the original lines up the face, this nice route zigzags up through the easiest vertical sections to the right of the large corner (Los Angeles). All belays are equipped with bolts or pegs.

A nice, sustained climb up the large central pillar on the West Face, bolted on lead. The difficulties ease off in the upper section, since the rock becomes more slabby and weathered.

Bolted on lead, this route follows the black streaks up through the overhangs above the rifugio Giussani. The initial section is friable but this improves as height is gained.

Tempi Moderni, or Modern Times, follows the line of central slabs without respite to the summit of Punta Rocca. It is a class route, absolutely one of the most beautiful on the South Face, both for the climbing it offers...

Like Tempi Moderni on the South Face of the Marmolada, Tempi Modernissimi on the Sasso delle Undici indicated where the new challenges lay, proving it possible to climb apparently impossible, blank faces. First climbed by the duo Heinz Mariacher and...

Elegant climbing in a grandiose setting, up the imposing third arête on the left-hand side of Pilastro di Rozes. The rock is generally good quality and the difficulties remain sustained from the second half upwards. The in-situ gear is sufficient...

A legendary route, and quite rightly so; a true masterpiece of Dolomite climbing. Nowadays the “Pesce” has become a classic extreme, and even if the original protection has been modified, it nevertheless remains a route not to be underestimated.

The King of Fanes is a great multi-pitch climb that breaches spectacular rock on the south face of Col Bechei. The first pitch was added immediately after the first ascent and starts off up loose rock. It can be avoided...

Thirller is considered one of the most interesting routes on Col Becchei, which required great intuition during the first ascent to avoid the roofs. The climbing is technical and sustained on excellent rock. The route crosses Los Angeles and Balbic...

Interesting route that climbs right through the middle of the beautiful, overhanging East Tower, located right in front of the Vajolet refuge. The rock required some attention and cleaning. The rock required some attention and cleaning. Comprised of five pitches,...

Traumpfeiler, the pillar of dreams. The name couldn’t be more appropriate for this famous climb that, given its beauty, also lent its name to the magnificent limestone missile located beneath the Sella Pass in the Italian Dolomites. Bolted from above...

Traumschiff is a strong contender for one of the best short multi-pitch sport climbs in Dolomites! Magnificent slab climbing, far less polished then its famous neighbour Traumpfeiler, leads all the way to the top of the pillar. The climbing is...

New rock climb up the South Face of Peitlerkofel, put up in 2015 by the two South Tyrolean mountain guides Simon Kehrer and Christoph Hainz.
