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...

La Piccola Sgualdrina is a mixed climb in Val Pramper, Dolomites, immediately next to the famous icefall Gran Dama. "All things considered I believe this route become a classic mixed outing, never trivial but not too difficult either. The line...

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....

Compared to the nearby Val Gardena, Vallunga is more suited to more adventurous ice climbers, those who love a pristine alpine ambient. Vallunga is a lonely valley, criss-crossed for a bit by a cross-country piste, marked by 600-700m high faces...

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...

La Spada nella Roccia is a stupendous drip which forms from a cave. It was first climbed by Maurizio Gallo in the 1980's and represented an important step forward for piolet traction in the Western Alps.Sottoguda represents an obligatory ice...

Beautiful icefall that climbs two distinct sections, first ascended by the Mountain Guides Patrick Ghezzi and Alessandro Lucchi on 5/2/2012 and repeated a few days later by Fabio Salvadei and Tommaso Andreolli.

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.

A really beautiful route to the right of La Piovra that offers some difficult mixed climbing. Something for experts. The first pitches that lead to the roof were climbed for the first time in 1992 by the brothers Cristoforo and...

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....

This is a beautiful outing thanks to the magnificent surroundings and the steep rock faces that tower high above. The imposing SW Face of Cima Scottoni dominates all: first climbed by the Scoiattoli L. Lacedelli, L. Ghedina and G. Lorenzi...

This beautiful and interesting walk coincides with the start of the classic Dolomite Alta Via nr. 1 traverse from the Lago di Braies to Belluno and crosses through one of the largest natural parks in the South Tyrol, the uncontaminated...

This is a short but interesting round trip that explores the area at the foot of Monte Faloria, just above Cortina and close to the immense Monte Cristallo. It leads to the “bewitched” Lake Costalaresc and has an excellent view...

This is a beautiful itinerary that starts from the top station of the Col Gallina chairlift and leads up to the col Forcella dell’Averau. It then returns, towards the magnificent south face of the Tofana di Rozes, down to Rifugio...

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...
