The routes

Highly technical face climbing up exceptional rock, deemed one of the most beautiful challenges in sport climbing by Frenchman Arnaud Petit. The route had originally been started by a German team in 2005 comprised of Daniel Gebel, Ari Steinel, Uschi...

Transocean is a beautiful route up compact limestone, first ascended from the ground-up in the summers 2007 and 2010 and although equipped with bolts it needs camming devices for additional protection. Very technical slab climbing, the line was freed by...

Demanding and continuous climb up the completely vertical and smooth North Face. The max difficulties still need confirming. At present the first free ascent is still outstanding and this represents a great challenge. The Pizzo Campana limestone is very smooth...

In the summers of 2002 and 2003 the Scoiattoli Luigi Majoni and Davide Gaspari established a difficult and beautiful route up the East Face of the Tofana di Mezzo. The route isn't well-known and ascends splendid limestone slabs and...

Chimera Verticale is an extremely logical and elegant line up the legendary NW Face of Civetta. It weaves its way through all the weakpoints on the the pillar to reach the summit of Punta Civetta between the routes Aste and...

40 anni rifugio Falier takes a beautiful line which cuts straight through the impressive pillar, visible from the hut below. First ascended over three days by Slovak climbers Igor Koller and Dino Kuran, it was freed by Roland Mittersteiner and...

Great route first ascended by Christoph Hainz and Kurt Astner in August 2009, then freed by the duo in July 2010. The route follows an obvious and exposed line to the left of the Spigolo Scoiattoli arête and offers, according...

Interesting route with a beautiful second pitch.  The bolts are fairly run-out at times, though never dangerously so, and a small trad rack is recommended for additional protection.

Tingeling is a combination of two existing aid routes, "Bongo Bar" and  "Atlantis" first attempted by Hansjörg Auer and Much Mayr who were thwarted by poor conditions. The route was freed by Norway's Andreas Klarstøm and Thomas Meling in summer...

Highly recommended route up the cold West Face of Cima Grande di Lavaredo, up surprisingly good rock and with all the makings of a modern alpine classic. Although first ascended as late as the 1980's, it falls in the category...

'The rock face of all rock faces', 'the route of all routes': the Cassin route up the Walker Spur on the North Face of the Grandes Jorasses represents a dream for all alpinists. The route is highly demanding and due...

Nice route in a mountain environment, up granite marked by plenty of knobs. The bolts are fairly run-out at times, though never dangerously so, and a small trad rack is recommended for additional protection.

Technically difficult and psychologically demanding route up excellent rock on a face which is relatively easy to reach but far removed from the more popular climbing destinations.

Nice and demanding climb, predominantly up cracks, to the left of Umbras. The route reaches the final belay of Umbras and ends here.

Beautiful route which offers technical and pumpy climbing up good to excellent rock. In 2009 the two mountain guides Alberto De Giuli and Renato Bernard re-equipped the routes with bolts, at times run-out, while the third pitch now ascends direct...

Stupendous combination of two existing routes which had fallen into disuse, probably due to the state of the original pro. The first half climbs technical slabs, the second is more athletic up excellent rock. Re-equipped in summer 2009, the route...
