The routes

Via Phoenix (via della Fenice) was climbed ground-up over two days, with a bivi at the base of the face. It climbs the Secondo Campanile in Val Orsera and, as such, is the first and only route to climb this...

Parete di Solada is a beautiful face which contains just one other climb, on the left, called Il teorema di Solà, put up by Glauco Cugini and Christian Ferrari in 2001. Cani sciolti follows a logical line past the points...

Lucertolaia on Lastoni di Formin in the Italian Dolomites is a route with a both traditional and modern feel to it, almost Californian with belays that are mainly bolted and the pitches that need protecting with trad gear as they...

Giallomania breaches the most repulsive sections of the West Face Monte Spitz searching for the line of least resistance. After pitch 5 it is no longer possible to abseil down the route. The route seeps after extended periods of...

Over six days in April 2015 the Iranian climbers Hassan Gerami, Hamid Reza Shafaghi and Farshad Mijoji forged The Change Experience up the Ecole Tower. The 11 pitch, circa 440m high route was climbed ground-up. While pitches 1, 10 and...

The Caiat massif offers beautiful climbing on its splendid limestone walls. The potential for new routing is enormous. This route in the Akchour valley was established ground-up from 22 to 25 February 2015. Since the route weaves its way through...

Demanding and serious climbing on perfect and varied Wetterstein limestone. You need to be good at placing trad gear and the upper UIAA VIII should be well in your grasp.

Climbed over two days onsight, Spaßbremse breaches difficulties up to 7+/8- and offers “beautiful climbing up dreamlike rock.” Just like nearby Neolit, this route was climbed without bolts.

A logical route, previously noticed by climbers from Avio but completed by Beppe Vidali and Sergio Coltri. Excellent rock, difficulties never too extreme, set in a wild area yet accessable area. Bolted climb with a distinctly alpine feel.

Demanding and sustained climb."All said are done there are 10 pitches, 9 new ones plus a final easy pitch shared with another route. The route climbs an extraordinary void, offers a nice variety of climbing styles the demand a disturbing...

Opened ground-up, using skyhooks to place the bolts, Fuori come Merli is 120m high and spectacular. Beautiful beyond belief, the first two pitches that are a work of art of Mother Nature. The central roof tackles a logical line before...
