The routes

Nostalgie climbs the wall in between Spigolo Comici - Mazzorana and Via Fehrmann on the north face of Cima Piccola. The climb has a very alpine feel to it, all the pegs we used have been left insitu. Some belays...

Rock climb established ground-up over four days. The first three pitches ascend the beautiful vertical grey slab past sharp holds and lead to the next block of three pitches that breach the overhang. Marked by tufas of all shapes and...

Climbed ground-up by the mountain guides Daniele Macagno and Enrico Turnaturi in summer 2013. While not particularly long, the climbing is fairly demanding and the rock is almost always superb. Another plus point is the short approach: if the road that...

An incredible line up Castello di Vallesinella in the Brenta Dolomites, on absolutely amazing rock. Logical, elegant and short. The route follows a crack that takes plenty of pro and which allowed us to make the first ascent onsight.

Beautiful ice climb that offers some modern mixed sections and techincal ice climbing.

Nuvole Bianche was first ascended after 3 attempts, two in 2014 and one in 2016. The hardest part of the route are definitely the first three pitches through the yellow section, that requires good degree of fitness. We returned in...

Even though this is the easiest route described in this chapter, it is without a doubt one of the nicest. Fixed protection is lacking so bring wires and possibly even pegs and a hammer. The start and first two pitches...

An interesting walk which leads from Oberbozen through the forest to the earth pyramids, before discovering the enchanting small village Maria Himmelfahrt.

Demanding and physically challenging climb in a steep and severe setting, thin belay. Wonderful climbing up excellent rock. A quick team can start at circa 14:00 in the sun and top out in 3-4 hours.

Outstanding climbing in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. The route climbs smooth slabs immediately to the left of the classic 1968 Gogna route, and offer technical climbing up rock reminiscent of that found on Marmolada or in the Rätikon. The route...

Oceano Irrazionale was first route to introduce the grade VII in the Central Alps. Irrational Ocean is a fantastic line up long vertical cracks and a prodigious traverse right, la "Tromba", to reach the suspended pulpit. Certainly one of the...

A superb, independent line up the lefthand side of Cima Grande, marked by its – almost always – comfortable belays. While the climb was put up in 2010 by Hannes Pfeifhofer and Daniel Roger, the first one-day ascent was carried out...

The new route Oiscura... L'eco del Baratro was first ascended ground-up using a drill and hook and without intermediate gear and it takes a line through the cave to the left of the beautiful Via Mediterraneo on Punta Giradili. Those...

A very logical line that offers all types of climbing styles.This mixed route is particularly demanding both physically and psychologically, up difficult and delicate ice and, at times, past tricky rock.

The "Queen of the Dolomites", rising gracefully up from the Fedaia Pass, impressively dominates above all the other mountains in the eastern Alps. Its sunny South Face is a climbers paradise and its shadowy North Face is a dream...

Beautiful icefall in a panoramic setting above the lake. Despite the orientation the ice is almost always terrible, rendering this climb extremely delicate.
