The routes

A great route that climbs up the imposing West Face of the Sass Pordoi, to the left of Abram. The route takes a direct and extremely exposed line up excellent rock.The route was climbed from the ground up over an...

Stupendous combination of two existing routes which had fallen into disuse, probably due to the state of the original pro. The first half climbs technical slabs, the second is more athletic up excellent rock. Re-equipped in summer 2009, the route...

A steep climb established by Simon Gietl and Andrea Oberbacher over a period of 2 days ground-up and without bolts. The rock at the start of the crux pitch needs some cleaning.

Pleasant route established ground-up by Simon Kehrer and Roman Valentini. The route takes a logical line between the routes Tridentina and Ai bimbi di Beslan. Even if the route is bolted, take Friends and nuts.

Batajan takes a line up the second Sella tower and offers fascinating and varied VI and VII grade climbing with an airy crux which leads through the great roofs on the 4th and 5th pitches.

Bramosia Scura ascends the North Face of Cima Vallon with six great pitches. Established ground-up by the Austrians Klaus Gössinger and Peter Manhartsberger in July 2016 and proteced by bolts, it breaches difficulties up to 6c+ on excellent rock.

This is the most popular outing on the wall, thanks to its superb line on excellent rock. It is easier than Geo and Plitschka, but the climbing is always sustained. Beware of old threads.

Technically difficult and tiring climbing up vertical slabs, cracks and corners and at times friable rock. Established ground-up over three days, there are no in-situ bolts and the route is protected with pegs and trad gear only.

One of the great classic and most recommended routes on the Sella. The first section climbs the west face and leads leftwards to the exposed NW arête to continue up this to the summit. The short corner crux leads onto...

Dolomiti Race on Piz Ciavazes is a a very beautiful multi-pitch alpine sports climb on grey and reddish rock marked by pockets. Established ground-up and rope-solo, the climbing is exposed. The entire route is bolted and all the belays are equipped...

Beautiful route up excellent quality rock which climbs the large water streak. The route follows a line close to the waterfall and this renders it particularly fascinating. Calculate 5 hours for the ascent.

Fairplay is located in the Sella Vallon group on Piz da Lech (2908m) and was established by Simon Gietl & Klaus Gruber from the ground up without the use of bolts and with just trad gear and pegs as protection,...

This route is technical and demanding; the third pitch, which follows a difficult yellow slab and roof, is outstanding. The climbing is sustained 5/6 with a 7 crux (the roof on the third pitch). Strict ethics resulted in about 5/6...

Great route up good rock, established by  B. De Franceschi and F. Vanzetta in 1978 (pegs and pressure bolts). It was rebolted recently in a combined effort first by R. Bernard and G. Bonanno, then by Luigi Trippa & Co....

Beautiful route which offers technical and pumpy climbing up good to excellent rock. In 2009 the two mountain guides Alberto De Giuli and Renato Bernard re-equipped the routes with bolts, at times run-out, while the third pitch now ascends direct...

In July 2004 Mauro Bubu Bole frees one of the most eyed-up overhangs in the Dolomites, the mythical Italia ’61. The route was first climbed over 40 years ago by Bepi De Francesch, Quinto Romanin, Emiliano Vuerich and Cesare Franceschetti,...
