The routes

Interesting and fun drip at the start of Val Grande in a quiet setting. Although the route was climbed in two pitches, we suggest the second pitch is split into two.

Sentiero dei Troll resembles an iced gully and is a classic icefall in the famous Valnontey valley.

Il Sole di Mezzogiorno climbs the obvious corner on the Singlin rock face.

Il sole e la luna, the sun and the moon, was established all free and ground-up without the use of aid between one bolt and the next. The rock is excellent, the third pitch is spectacular. The climb is totally...

Il tempo sospeso is an interesting climb on the south face of Furcia Rossa III, between the routes Hinterm Horizont (Hubert Eisendle, Simon Kehrer 2021/22) and Princess Soreghina (Hubert Eisendle, Simon Kehrer). During the first ascent of Suspended Time cams and 6 pegs were used for protection the pitches, while the...

Another fun and nice da Pozzo route up the Primo Spigolo of the Tofana di Rozes. First ascended together with Natasha Alexander in July 2006, from the large ledge at circa 100-150m beneath the summit it shares the final two...

Volo di Pegasus is a beautiful route which climbs perfect rock and is marked by the incredible rock formations and tufas. First ascended on-sight from the ground-up by visiting Austrians Albert Leichtfried & Reinhard Ranner, the route climbs difficulties up...

The mixed climb Illogika takes a line to the left of Couloir dell’H on Monte Nero di Presanella (Adamello - Presanella). An old peg was found on pitch 2, at present it is unclear whether it belongs to an...

On 24 January 2006 Albert Leichtfried made the first ascent of "Illuminati", a 5 pitch mixed outing located in Val Lunga, close to Selva Gardena, N. Italy. The 30 year old Austrian has put forward the impressive grade M11+/WI 6+.Leichtfried...

Great 2-pitch icefall set in a beautiful gully in Val Budria climbed on 5 January by Cristian Candiotto and Ezio Lualdi. Why Illusion? "Because from down in the valley you simply can't believe that it's up there, when you first...

Beautiful route on solid rock up the left-hand side of the face. The 2nd and 5th pitches are outstanding.

Nice icefall, unfortunately somewhat short. From afar it looks as if the vertical section could be much longer, and it gets its name because of this. A great climb for beginners, in a fantastic setting.

Great route, incredibly still unclimbed, hence the name "Unexpected surprise". This icefall is destined to become an instant classic. 60m ropes are needed (unless you want to split the second pitch and make an akward ice belay). It is worth...

Demanding stamina climbing up the yellow, often overhanging face.

Beautiful mixed outing up the North Face of Monte Miletto.

Interesting climbing with a spectacular final pitch and abseil.
