Via Dülfer - Cima Grande di Lavaredo
5+
The cold West Face hosts the via Dülfer, a direct and elegant line, somewhat less popular than the other routes. It is relatively short, considering that it is on the Cima Grande, and is solid UIAA 6 with some slightly...
Via Comici - Dimai - Cima Grande di Lavaredo
7
Via Comici Dimai is the classic example of rock climbing in the Dolomites. Although difficult if climbed without using aid, its popularity is justified by its beauty and excellent rock.

Hasse Brandler - Cima Grande di Lavaredo
7a+
An important old aid-route that takes a direct line up the North Face of the Cima Grande. Regardless of the style of ascent, the route, due to its 18 pitches, is very tiring and thus requires a certain level of...
Oasi - Col Becchei
5+/6a
Even though this is the easiest route described in this chapter, it is without a doubt one of the nicest. Fixed protection is lacking so bring wires and possibly even pegs and a hammer. The start and first two pitches...
Super Ponzio - Col Becchei
6c
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.
Los Angeles - Col Becchei
6a
This route follows the large corner up the middle of the wall to the large roofs at half height. From here it continues leftwards, shares a belay with Thriller and Balbic and continues up slabs and cracks between the two....
Balbic - Col Becchei
7b+
This is one of the newest routes, with the bolts and pegs placed on lead. The hardest sections are to be found in the first half, where the route follows a line between the large corner (Los Angeles) and Thriller,...
Thriller - Col Becchei
7a
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...
Illusione Ottica - Col Becchei
7b
Beautiful route on solid rock up the left-hand side of the face. The 2nd and 5th pitches are outstanding.
Paolo Rodela - Punta Fiames
8+
A pumpy and sustained climb that follows the superb slabs to the right of Via Classica, successfully avoiding two roofs and breaching a final overhang. The large roof is the crux and this can be climbed free (7a+) or aided....
Spigolo Jori - Punta Fiames
V
This is one of the most interesting and popular climbs in the vicinity of Cortina. It tackles the cracklines up the Punta Fiames’ obvious, airy arête.
Via Dimai - Punta Fiames
IV
An easy and popular climb that winds its way up the sunny South Face, overlooking the Cortina valley. Do not underestimate the length of the route, nor the initial pedestal.
Dei diedri - Cima Cason di Formin
5+
This climbs the obvious two corners up the West Face of the Cima Cason di Formin. The first faces south and is 80 meters long, whilst the second, facing north and two thirds of the way up, can be done...
Parete Ovest - Cima Cason di Formin
4 e 5, 5+
The West Face takes a line to the right of Diedro Dallago, up solid but sometimes dirty rock. It initially follows a series of corners, before continuing up an obvious crack which forks high up beneath the yellow roof. The...
Diedro Dallago - Cima Cason di Formin
4 & 5
This solid 4+ takes the large corner that unfortunately is prone to seepage after rain. The only difficult section (5) on the first pitch can be avoided by starting 20m to the left and climbing up the series of small...
Pilastro Ovest - Lastoni di Formin
6
This route takes the arête up the large, compact pillar on the left-hand side of the Lastoni dei Formin. The first section rises to the right up the corners before reaching the arête proper. The route becomes progressively harder and...
