The routes

Maleficent tackles the the central section of the NW Face, climbing the compact slabs using a more modern approach than the older routes. It was climbed ground-up with a mix of pegs and a few bolts placed where rests were...

This classic route is not particularly popular, but unjustifiably so. It takes a central line up the solid yellow grey slabs and the middle pitches are very beautiful indeed. Well worth repeating

Great sport climb in a forgotten vally tha looks out onto the South Face of Monte Duranno. The rock is excellent limestone, rough on the lower section followed by Verdonesque slabs and provides some fun climbing in a new and...

This is an easy itinerary at the foot of Monte Faloria, close to Cortina. It leads almost level through larch forests and past rocky outcrops that still nowadays echo the legends and history of the first inhabitants of the Dolomites.

One of the most beautiful slab routes in the entire Val di Mello, even if the long run-outs put off numerous parties. Recently rebolted. Excellent rock. The third pitch is slightly exposed.

Männer die auf Wände starren is a little gem on the Rotwand. It runs fairly close to the Casarotto route, but never crosses it. Furthermore, it provides has the same good rock as the Casarotto, and this only begins to...

A superb climb on Cima Mantello: water ice in the first pitches and then a gully almost all the way to the summit. The ambient where the drip is located is incredible, completely out of this world… no SAT trail nearby,...

Mare Grigio was established ground-up by Alexander Huber together with Michael Althammer in April 2014. The route skirts the massive overhangs with a wild traverse left before taking a direct line to the summit.

Technically difficult and psychologically demanding route up excellent rock on a face which is relatively easy to reach but far removed from the more popular climbing destinations.

Marinaio di foresta is a beautiful route that climbs diagonally up Pedra Longa, also known as Agugliastra, the extraordianry sea stack close to Baunei. The fantastic ambient and the aggressive rock render this an unforgettable outing!Given its beauty, the location, the difficulty...

First ascended from the ground-up in 2007 with stainless steel bolts, Mastro Lindo takes a line to the right of Linea d'ombra. The second pitch is hard but well protected, all remaining pitches are fun up a series of pockets...

Mediterraneo is an elegant climb that weaves its way between the huge overhangs of the lefthand side of Punta Giradili. It ascends on a strip of exceptional grey limestone, offering huge exposure next to the giant roof (the vault is...

Fun icefall which rarely comes into condition, marked by a thin drip which descends down the dark compact granite.

The wild and beautiful Valle delle Laures, located within the mountain community Monte Emilius, was one of the first areas to be developed by ice climbers, and the first icefalls date back to the early 1980's. The icefalls are...

The West Face takes a line to the right of Diedro Dallago, up solid but sometimes dirty rock. It initially follows a series of corners, before continuing up an obvious crack which forks high up beneath the yellow roof. The...

Mente Demente climbs up the righthand side of the face, between the routes Anita (Massarotto-Salvestro 1984) and Massarotto - Bellin - Sansonne - Zonta (1992). The start is situated on the long grassy ledge that cuts across the wall, next...
