The routes

A great gully set in a quiet and beautiful environment which is reminiscent of the gullies in the Western Alps, more than the classic icefalls in the Dolomites. The route alternates vertical ice, short snow patches and mixed sections which...

Beautiful route which climbs a line between the famous routes Brunsin and Plitschka up a repulsive yellow pillar past compact, overhanging virgin rock. The 6 pitches were equipped trad style. The belays are good with in-situ gear (in total 9...

A great climb that ascends the narrow portion of the face between the 1970 Schubert Werner and the 191973 Platter Rizzi. The climb was started by Marco Bozzetta in autumn of 2019 with Andrea Concini, who tragically died that winter...

Elegant classic route which climbs the arête that divides the west face from the south. This is a pleasant and exposed route up good quality rock, at times excellent, which first climbs the large face, then the obvious beautiful featured...

In the summers of 2002 and 2003 the Scoiattoli Luigi Majoni and Davide Gaspari established a difficult and beautiful route up the East Face of the Tofana di Mezzo. The route isn't well-known and ascends splendid limestone slabs and...

In summer 2006 Massimo Da Pozzo, Tiziano Cipriani and Nadia Dimai established a demanding new route up the Torre Dusso (2618 m). This peak is part of the mountain called Costa del Role, which culminates with two peaks (Torre Dusso...

The short overhanging yellow wall of the Cima Piccolissima is breached by the demanding Via Cassin. All loose holds on this stratified dolomite have been cleaned. The route faces SE and is therefore climbable before and after summer.

The Cassin up Cima Ovest di Lavaredo is a beautiful route, one of the classics in the Dolomites. Exposed and sustained climbing up to 7a, on fairly solid rock.

A recent “classic” addition that climbs the arête to the left of Diedro Dallago, up good quality rock. 18 pegs were placed on the first ascent, and the difficulties, apart from the third crux pitch, are in the region of...

Via Comici Dimai is the classic example of rock climbing in the Dolomites. Although difficult if climbed without using aid, its popularity is justified by its beauty and excellent rock. English topo in pdf download.

An interesting and relatively unknown route on the right-hand side of the Lagazuoi’s North Face. The rock quality is fairly good, but a bit loose in the upper section.

In 2002 Paolo Da Pozzo and Walter Bachmann established an interesting route up the east face of the North-East summit of Cima Marcoira (or Malquoira, 2422m), a lone offshoot of Mt. Sorapis.Although the route is protected by bolts, it isn’t...

Via Decima (also referred to as Colatoio nero, black streak) follows a beautiful grey corner and then continues up the long black steak, solid and full of holds. The climbing is fun, varied and often airy, but always offers good...

A classic route through the center of the Tofana di Mezzo’s beautiful East Face. First ascended with the help of aid, it now goes free at 7a. Excellent quality rock, except for a few rare exceptions, and plenty of in-situ...

Via dei Balotini was established with bolts, trad gear and in the cold. The climb tackles sections of very compact rock thanks to the bolts, but wherever possible trad gear was used, meaning that some pitches have a particularly alpine...

A modern route to the left of Via del Drago. It is protected with 10 mm bolts and on the whole the rock quality is good, apart from some friable sections on the first pitches. Either abseil back down the...
