The routes

Difficult new mixed climb in the Sella massif, put up by South Tyrolean alpinists Aaron Moroder and Alex Walpoth established. Climbed onsight and in 5 hours, route tackles one of the many faces on the left-hand side of Val Lasties,...

One of the most coveted climbs in the Central Alps, it represented a huge leap in terms of quality in Val Masino and even today is often considered one of the most difficult slab climbs in the Alps. A series...

Fuori di Zucca breaches the large overhang close to Leonidio called Garden of Dionysus by the local population, situated close to an ancient monastry. The route was established in six days. The result is a great, steeply overhanging seven-pitch sport...

Climbed by the Slovaks Josef Kristoffy, Martin Krasnansky and Vlado Linek in early 2016, El Condor Pasa is likely to be the hardest climb in the Cochamó valley.

This drip is located in Valle della Pietra - Valle di Trona, a side valley of Val Gerola.

A "mega mixed line" first ascended by Vittorio Messini and Matthias Wurzer on 2, 4 and 5 January 2016 and then climbed free on 7/01/2016.

A severe alpine climb up the immense North Face of the Pala di San Martino. The route starts to the right of Via Solleder and follows the obvious vertical black streak. The rock is good apart from one section on pitch...

The entire route offers varied climbing in a marvelous setting, but should not be underestimated by any means.

A logical sequence of slender cracks to the left of Io non ho paura up the Scoglio delle Metamorfosi. In 2014 Pietro Biasini, Daniele Bianchi and Mirko Masè established the first seven pitches, in November 2015 Bianchi and Masé completed...

Extremely beautiful icefall, climbed without bolts or pegs. The dry tooling section can be protected well with friends and nuts. Once again the Cogne valley has provided amazing new excitement.

Beautiful and fun route on a mountain which sees little traffic. The climbing is not particularly difficult and ideal for those who wish to enjoy a great day out in stunning scenery. The climb follows a logical line of weakness;...

A new route that came about almost by chance, from a sudden glance at the face immediately to our left as we approached the classic ice gullies on Monte Nero. Much to our delight the route developed, one pitch after...

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...

The crux pitch is overhanging and runs along a series of tufas. The pitches that follow are extremely technical. The unique 4th pitch (7c+) follows the arch via the few holds the rock provides. The 6th pitch (technical 7b) is...

Highly technical climbing on slightly overhanging rock, with a crux slab pitch. Strong fingers needed for the small crimps. Redpoint repeat: Andrea Simonini and Rolando Larcher. No on-sight as yet. Best time of year: October to April.

Over a three day period in September 2014 the South Tyrolean mountaineers Simon Gietl and Andrea Oberbacher forged a new rock climb up Heiligkreuzkofel, also referred to as Sass de la Crusc. Voodoo-Zauber, climbs six independent pitches up the righthand...
