The routes

A splendid icefall, physical and unrelenting. Plenty of ice on the upper section, unlike the first lower section, where the little ice that forms tends to deteriorate fairly quickly.

New climb up the splendid North Face.

Vascello Fantasma in Valle del Ferro climbs up an excellent quality rock face in a particularly remote and evocative corner of Val Masino, despite being clearly visible from the valley floor (and even from the San Martino webcam!). The route ascends...

The result is a quality climb, requiring good technique and footwork up the slightly overhanging face.

The first rock climb on this face

Fantastic line of ice and mixed climbing up the fore-summit of Mount Stanislao peak above Lake Zancone in Valle Trona.

Via Napoleone is an alpine climb in Val Torrone (SO), above Val Masino, established ground-up past the most obvious lines of weakenss.
