by

Erik Svab flashes the dry tooling route "Mix isch fix" M10+ at the Grotta di Landro, Dolomites.

Despite the meagre winter Erik Svab has managed to flash “Mix isch fix” M10+ at the Grotta di Landro (Dobbiaco, Dolomites). The former Italian ice climbing champion sent the 20m route, established by locals Kurt Astner e Christoph Hainz, without spurs on a recent visit to what has become one of the most important dry tooling crags in the Italian Dolomites.


Info Grotta di Landro
Grotta di Landro is located circa 3km after Toblach – Dobbiaco when heading towards Cortina d'Ampezzo. The cave is clearly visible from the road on the right. Park the car (leave no valubles) and walk to the cave in just 10 minutes. The routes are marked from left to right.
