The routes

Spectacular hike to the summit of the Stromboli volcano! The walk mustn’t be underestimated by any means! The 900 meters altitude gain, the wind, fog, sand you sink in and the volcanic gases render this hike a real adventure just...

Wonderful slab climb, never too difficult but not to be underestimated. Great quality rock, solid and with lots of holds. Established ground-up with bolts and pegs. All the gear used during the first ascent has been left insitu. The pro...

One of the original lines up the face, this nice route zigzags up through the easiest vertical sections to the right of the large corner (Los Angeles). All belays are equipped with bolts or pegs.

Super Stridente climbs the Tridente directly in a truly spectacular setting.

A nice, sustained climb up the large central pillar on the West Face, bolted on lead. The difficulties ease off in the upper section, since the rock becomes more slabby and weathered.

Bolted on lead, this route follows the black streaks up through the overhangs above the rifugio Giussani. The initial section is friable but this improves as height is gained.

The route explores the face which seems to have been unclimbed until now, and attempts to follow the large arete. While the lower section is demanding and almost vertical, in particular pitch 1, the angle then eases off and the...

First light saw us at the base of the gully, which at first glance looked excellent. Our only worry was… would we manage to breach the cave that towered overhead? No need to describe how happy we were when we...

Interesting mixed climb up Nasswand / Croda Bagnata, which rarely comes into condition. The first pitches are hidden from view, while the chimneyon the left provides two excitign pitches up steep ice.

Tempi Moderni, or Modern Times, follows the line of central slabs without respite to the summit of Punta Rocca. It is a class route, absolutely one of the most beautiful on the South Face, both for the climbing it offers...

Like Tempi Moderni on the South Face of the Marmolada, Tempi Modernissimi on the Sasso delle Undici indicated where the new challenges lay, proving it possible to climb apparently impossible, blank faces. First climbed by the duo Heinz Mariacher and...

Elegant climbing in a grandiose setting, up the imposing third arête on the left-hand side of Pilastro di Rozes. The rock is generally good quality and the difficulties remain sustained from the second half upwards. The in-situ gear is sufficient...

The route offers varied climbing up magnificent rock: a warm-up pitch up "coral-like" rock is followed by a very overhanging pitch with a no-hands rest at half-height and a hard fingery sequence to reach the belay. Pitch 3, after a...

Head in the Clouds was started by Ivan Maghella on his own, then completed with Alessandro Arduini. Established ground-up, the route provides continuous difficulties with elegant climbing past pockets and goutte d’eau. Some pitches are overhaning, so there’s a bit...

Interesting ice climb located circa 30m to the right of the classic Piovra in Langental / Vallunga. Teufelsgeige has proven to be an instant classic.

This is certainly one the absolute classic and popular routes in the Alps and leads to the summit of Mont Blanc via the highest rock pillar in the entire massif. Thanks to its altitude and orientation the tip of the...
