The routes

Demanding four-pitch mixed climb on the NW Face of Kleine Rodelheilspitze (Sass dla Lùesa)

Climbed over two days onsight, Spaßbremse breaches difficulties up to 7+/8- and offers “beautiful climbing up dreamlike rock.” Just like nearby Neolit, this route was climbed without bolts.

Spes Ultima Dea is a big rock climb up the ENE Face of Crozzon di Brenta. It varied climbing, with continuous difficulties throughout, not too difficult and not too easy, up "titanic" rock.

Climbed it trad wherever possible and added bolts where the compact slabs accepted no gear. The first ascent was carried out over several days throughout autumn and winter. The climb has been called Speta che Vegno, wait for us, because it...

Every year hundreds of climbers flock to the Spigolo Giallo. Few routes have such a perfect line, and few routes get quite so crowded. It is best climbed out of season and preferably avoided at the weekends. The difficult sections...

Beautiful route in the center of the east face of Monte Colodri above Arco in the Sarca valley.

A logical route, previously noticed by climbers from Avio but completed by Beppe Vidali and Sergio Coltri. Excellent rock, difficulties never too extreme, set in a wild area yet accessable area. Bolted climb with a distinctly alpine feel.

'Great climbing, demanding, up good rock, at times excellent.' This is the description of Stigmata, the climb established ground-up by Simon Gietl and Andrea Oberbacher to the left of the famous Livanos Pillar on Heiligkreuzkofel, the mountain that dominates Val...

Sto imparando a volare on Punta Emma in the Rosengarten / Catinaccio massif ascends the obvious corridor of rock to the left and parallel to the recently opened Giupponi-Larcher. A climbs a direct line up very beautiful rock with increasing difficulties that peak at...

Interesting mixed climb up Nasswand / Croda Bagnata, which rarely comes into condition. The first pitches are hidden from view, while the chimneyon the left provides two excitign pitches up steep ice.

Like Tempi Moderni on the South Face of the Marmolada, Tempi Modernissimi on the Sasso delle Undici indicated where the new challenges lay, proving it possible to climb apparently impossible, blank faces. First climbed by the duo Heinz Mariacher and...

The route offers varied climbing up magnificent rock: a warm-up pitch up "coral-like" rock is followed by a very overhanging pitch with a no-hands rest at half-height and a hard fingery sequence to reach the belay. Pitch 3, after a...

Head in the Clouds was started by Ivan Maghella on his own, then completed with Alessandro Arduini. Established ground-up, the route provides continuous difficulties with elegant climbing past pockets and goutte d’eau. Some pitches are overhaning, so there’s a bit...

Interesting ice climb located circa 30m to the right of the classic Piovra in Langental / Vallunga. Teufelsgeige has proven to be an instant classic.

Airy route that zigzags its way along the aerie past the large roofs. Exposure is the hallmark of this climb and almost all pitches contain bouldery cruxes. The easier sections are fairly run-out. This, combined with the exposure, creates an...

Sustained winter climb up the north face of Cima Brenta.
