The routes

This icefall is comprised of 30m drip which breaches two vertical sections. The first, short and 80°, leads to the icefall proper: a vertical wall, demanding and never banal. The icefall is located in a narrow gorge receives the sun...

On 01/01/2013 the Slovenian alpinists Andrej Grmovšek amd Luka Krajnc made the first ascent of Zuko traverse (V 5.10+, 650m). The route climbs the large corner immediately to the left of Los esclavos del barometro and to the right of...

Beautiful new 70/80m route just above the classic Inattesa sorpresa. This year, the particlarly mild winter days resulted in this drip forming on the rock bastion. A perfect match for Inattesa Sorpresa, or ideal alternative when this is too crowded....

Long couloir, fun and a great training route, first ascended solo by Cristian Candiotto on 22/12/2007.

Nice three-pitch icefall first climbed in December 2012.

Nice icefall dedicated to Cristian Candiotto's future wife.

Difficult mixed climb established ground-up over three days, completed on 27/12/2012. According to Faletti the line is "a great journey, highly selective. Far harder than all my other routes."

Short but intense gully. In dry conditions the route is difficult to protect. At times the rock quality is poor. Grandiose setting, total isolation.

Despite its unattractive appearance from below, each pitch offers beautiful, logical, fund and demanding climbing. Don't underestimate the difficulties because of the bolts, the route demands great trad climbing skills. Established ground-up, the aim was to leave it as trad...

The icefall is clearly visible when descending from Forcella Col dei Bos (2331m) towards beautiful Val Travenanzes: look up westwards just before Malga Travenanzes (1965m) to see the drip.Psyco Killer is a "perfect" line which, when in condition, stands out...

Beautiful 270m ice climb up the West Face of Crozzon di Brenta, first climbed by Gianni Canale and Aldo Mazzotti in January2013, and dedicated to Valeria Brunelli who died in the night between 8 and 9 October 2012, buried...

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...

Established in late autumn and early winter - from 2005 onwards - to avoid rocks falling onto the famous Bocchette via ferrata and the Via Normale, Via Ladri now offers cleaned rock, beautiful in most parts, with the final pitches...

A "decidedly demanding" mixed climb, difficult to protect and  "for experienced alpinists only."

A perfect, highly selective line up the Alraunewand. The route shares some belays and some short sections of some nearby summer routes, established by  the first ascentionists of this winter route. Triple A was established ground-up and without checking out...

The first three pitches are difficult and psychologically demanding, up thin ice smears and ice mushrooms up to 95°. These are followed by a difficult 4m roof with some suspended drips. This is crowned by a vertical face and another...
