The routes

A demanding route up the left-hand side of the pillar. The compact and featured rock is one of the best to be found on the Tofana. The fourth and fifth pitches are the hardest, but the rest of the route...

This is surely the most famous and popular route on this wall, thanks to its intrinsic beauty and perfect line. It is long and demanding, and initially climbs the crack line up the grey rock to the first ledge. From...

This difficult route rises up a characteristic overhanging yellow wall, clearly visible from the Passo Giau. The climbing is highly technical and sustained, with hard sections that, apart from the 8a crux pitch (or A0/A1), cannot be aided.

An easy and accessible route up a series of ledges on solid rock with plenty of holds and threads. The route takes a line up the large pillar in the middle of the Southwest Face, from which the summit can...

The route was established in spring 2012 during five days of efforts. Climbing ground-up, Simon Gietl and Patrick Seiwald spent two days getting past the crux and had to resort to A3 aid. The first free ascent was carried out...

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.

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...

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...

This rock climb ascends the north face of Campanile Basso past excellent rock. The belays were bolted shortly after the first ascent. For those wishing to climb it, we recommend a combination of routes up through the north face, starting...

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...

In August 2014 the tireless Massimo Da Pozzo and his friend Samuele Majoni chose to restore a great, old route to its former glory: Diedro Fouzigora. Established on 20 August 1944 by Marino Bianchi Fouzìgora and Dino Menardi Selo up...

Logical and extremely exposed line up the obvious corner to the left of the ”Grande Muro”. On the whole the route climbs up fairly solid rock, but in parts though this may be a bit friable.

A nice route up good quality rock, more sustained and with less in-situ gear than nearby Grande Muro.

DNA climbs the south face of Croda degli Alpini, the sunny foresummit of Cima Ovest in the Tre Cime di Lavaredo group of the Italian Dolomites. Seven long pitches with difficulties up to VII+ led them to the top of...

Dolasilla is the first route on the west face of Lavarella that breaches the slabs clearly visible from Val Badia and finishes directly at the summit. It provides technical slab climbing and a beautiful traverse and is well worth repeating....

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...
