The routes

First ascended in winter 1972 with few pegs and no aid, this route represented a milestone in mountaineering both for its grade and style of ascent. Nowadays it is an interesting route, perhaps slightly discontinuous, but worth repeating, if only...

Fairplay is located in the Sella Vallon group on Piz da Lech (2908m) and was established by Simon Gietl & Klaus Gruber from the ground up without the use of bolts and with just trad gear and pegs as protection,...

On 11 July 2017, in temperatures at the absolute limit of what is bearable, the Czech climber Jan Kareš and his friend Jaro Ovcacek bolted a new climb up the beautiful East Face of Punta Argennas. The route is vertical...

Beautiful and fun icefall despite its rather short length. Climb the first 80°/85° drip and belay on the right (bolt). The second 55/60m pitch leads to a bolt belay in a small cave, or to the left on two old...

Short but interesting outing up the South Face, forged ground-up with 10mm bolts over three days in June 2013.

Fat Tony climbs the leftwards diagonal crack with great difficulty until the roof is reached. After bathanging, continue to glory...!

Another excellent bolt route up the exposed buttress. The route partially follows an old aid-route. The climbing is very similar to that on the other routes nearby: sustained and technical.

Felsenkeller on Mt Somamunt in the Antersasc valley above Campill / Longiarü in Val Badia is an extremely beautiful mixed climb set in a wild and scenic ambient. This is the left-hand drip of 'Schorschs Weinfall' (Manuel Baumgartner, Simon Kehrer...

A legendary crack, one of the symbols of Valle dell’Orco, an absolute valley classic. Not to be missed. Fessura della Disperazione, the crack of despair is an enormous crack that plunges through the compact slabs of the Sergent. Although...

Located at Nid Des Hirondelles, the first crag to be bolted in Valgrisenche, Fessura di Gianfri climbs the obvious diagonal crack that splits the huge overhang.

A unique place, never crowded and with heavenly snow. It's well-worth the effort skinning up 900m to then trace massive curves down some of the most beautiful snow in the entire Adamello group, and this itinerary is special due to...

Pleasant rock climb Valle dei Laghi established ground-up by Peter Moser and Alessandro Beber in April 2012 and then freed by the first ascentionists. "During the ground-up first ascent we used some trad gear (some small and mid-sized friends)...

Beautiful winter climb up the NW Face of Cima d'Ambiez in the Brenta Dolomiteds. The new mixed climb is a direct version of Passaggio Solista, established by Tomas Franchini solo in May 2013. The first two pitches are exteremely difficult...

First Time in Val Ombretta, opposite the south face of the Marmolada,l is not particularly long, but its two pitches are on excellent quality ice, set in a truly unique ambient. Given its altitude and the fact that it faces...
