The routes

Sport climb up the West Face of Cima Grande, to the left of Via Dülfer. Established from the ground-up in autumn 2006 with 10mm bolts and a handfull of pegs, it was freed on 10 October 2006. Given the steep...

The route follows the obvious grey-black strek up the steep SE Face. 250m up excellent rock, with difficulties usually in the region of 6b and one 6c/6c+ pitch. Despite being protected by bolts, climbers must neverthelss be capable of easily...

Florian Riegler describes his route as follows: "My brother and I were attracted by the large roof on this wall, perhaps one of the most overhanging in the Dolomites. We stated to bolt the route in summer 2004 but after...

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.

First ascended by Rolando Larcher and Roberto Vigiani in summer 2000 over a four-day period from the ground-up, the route climbs an incredible line up the edge of the Cristina pillar to then continue through the center of the Lindo...

The mountain and the rock face need no introduction, all you have to do is say one name: "Super tegolina". There are few climbers who like this type of route who haven't yet climbed it. At first glance "Gente di...

Another fun and nice da Pozzo route up the Primo Spigolo of the Tofana di Rozes. First ascended together with Natasha Alexander in July 2006, from the large ledge at circa 100-150m beneath the summit it shares the final two...

Airy, beautiful and not too difficult line up the first of the three aretes which give the Tofana di Rozes its hallmark profile. The route finished up the classic "Primo Spigolo", first ascended by A. Alverà and U. Pompanin in...

Beautiful, airy line up Tofana's south facing Pilastro di Rozes. It was first ascended from the ground-up over a three-day period in September 2005 by Massimo Da Pozzo and Marcello Menardi and subsequently freed by Massimo Da Pozzo in June...

Because of the long approach and north-facing orientation, the Regular Route has an Alpine quality not found on other popular Yosemite walls. The climbing starts off wandering at a low angle and gradually grows steeper and gets better. The last...

The thought of climbing El Capitan conjures fear, doubt and excitement. The East Buttress of El Capitan has the potential to spawn all these emotions with far less commitment than a Grade VI nail-up. The route is a good step...

With the major Valley spires climbed, the pioneers of the 30's turned to the unclimbed faces. Climbing Half Dome and El Capitan was unthinkable. The 1400-foot Royal Arches, however, was covered with just enough features and ledges to forge a...

An excellent, clean, widening crack up a steep wall, Sacherer Cracker is a beautiful climb. Bomber protection for the crux and the first 100 feet of climbing leads to a 10-foot widening offwidth, which is the actual crux for many....

This is often called "The best 5.8 hand crack in Yosemite Valley." The climbing consists of glorious hand jams, a brief wide section and double cracks. For some, Bishop's Terrace will be a crowning climb of their Yosemite trip while...

Fantastic route first ascended by Massimo Da Pozzo and Danilo Serafini in September 2003. Magnificent climbing on splendid featured limestone with plenty of small pockets and small crimps, very similar to the nearby South Face of the Marmolada. The route...

New route on the Lastoni di Formin (Dolomites) at the hands of Mario Dibona and Gretchen Alexander. The duo created a new bolt 300m route up the center of Spiz de Mondeval, calling it "Love my dogs" and grading it...
