The routes

Established ground-up, the new multi-pitch rock climb L'uomo volante ascends the south face of Quarto Torrione di Mondeval in the Lastoni di Formin group in the Italian Dolomites. It runs parrallel to Forza 5, and the crux involves breaching the...

Established by Massimo Da Pozzo and Pier Francesco Smaltini in September 2012, La beffa (the joke) gets it's name from the fact that the drill batteries dies two bolts short of the summit, forcing Mox to return to finish off...

A beautiful, sustained and demanding route up the steep wall above the Grotta della Tofana. On excellent rock, this is perhaps one of the easiest of Massimo Da Pozzo’s modern offerings.

La Gana tla Pera on the south face of Neunerspitze / Sasso delle Nove provides beautiful slab climbing on excellent rock, between the famous Messner route and Somnium.

Great modern alpine sports climb on Castelletto della Tofana di Rozes first ascended from the ground up. It is completely equipped with 10 mm bolts.

In mid-September the Italian Rolando Larcher 2002 made the first ascent of the "La Grande Onda - Big Wave". Located deep in the Dolomites on the Torre Sprit, this 500m route clocks in at 8a. According to Larcher this...

La Guerriera was established after having discovered the line abseiling off Sguardo al Passato. 9 pitches and 290m lead to the top of the route, circa 150m short of the summit which...

On 28 August 2008 Mountain Guide Nicola Tondini completed the first ascent of his "La perla preziosa" up the beautiful West Face of Sass dla Crusc in the heart of the Italian Dolomites. Tondini spent a total of five days...

Piccozza nella Roccia provides 10 pitches, almost all circa 50m long, up Cima Principale degli Sfulmini in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites. All belays are equipped with pegs and threads, but on the pitches only pegs and cams were uses....

A very beautiful route, the first on an equally beautiful face hidden deep within the  Fanes park, in a quiet, sunny and remote environment. The climb is indeed a real Raieta, the legendary Fanes gem. The route tackles the left...

A modern route to the right of Via degli Scoiattoli, slightly easier than nearby Via Falcone e Borsellino. Bolted on lead, it is well worth repeating thanks to its excellent quality rock and climbing.

La vita è bella is located on the same face as this historic Via del Drago (C. Barbier, A. Giambisi, C. Platter, 1969), climbs the black stream to the left of Das Orakel (Simon Gietl, Patrick Seiwald 2013). and crosses...

This is one of the classic outings in the Dolomites. Great intuition enabled the first ascentionists to work their way up this immense overhanging wall. The second crux pitch, when finally freed, was a reference mark for things to come....

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...

Lastun de Mareo is located on the south pillar of Muntejela de Senes, a truly spectacular location. To reach the start you need to make 6 abseils, preferably with a 60m rope, then you climb back up. It is a...

A nice, unknown and never before published route up good rock. It is similar in grade to Costantini Ghedina, whose finish it shares. The final three pitches, and in particular the short pitch above the ledge, are the hardest.
