The routes

Over a three day period in September 2014 the South Tyrolean mountaineers Simon Gietl and Andrea Oberbacher forged a new rock climb up Heiligkreuzkofel, also referred to as Sass de la Crusc. Voodoo-Zauber, climbs six independent pitches up the righthand...

Dedicated to Sole who was born in June, their Waiting for the sun behind the moon offers varied climbing up a series of slabs, cracks and corners. Pitch 2 offers a bombè roof which still need freeing - presumably at...

Wasserläufer is a pleasant route in a great ambient; you often climb just a stone’s throw from the Margarethenbach waterfall, which shouldn’t be underestimated. The route was established ground-up with bolts. A big thank you to the Hochtourengruppe Lana for...

Weg der Neugier was established ground-up in summer 2015 by Hannes Pfeifhofer, Lisi Steurer, Markus Tschurtschenthaler with bolts past difficulties estimated at IX-.

Climbed ground-up by the mountain guides Daniele Macagno and Enrico Turnaturi in summer 2013. While not particularly long, the climbing is fairly demanding and the rock is almost always superb. Another plus point is the short approach: if the road that...

This new route in the Gola del Limarò, unlike the previous ones, is a sport climb and offers beautiful and technical climbing up the “dominant” line of this compact face. What renders this climbing unique though is something else: while...

Wolkenreise up Pilastro di Misurina above Lake Misurina in the Cadini group of the Italian Dolomites is a 5-pitch alpine sports climb that certainly deserves repeating. The first three pitches climb solid slabs, while on the last two pitches the...

Over a six day period this summer the two South Tyrolean climbers Josef Hilpold and Ulrich Viertler made the first ascent of Wüstenblume - desert flower - up the pillar located between the routes Mutschlecher - Großrubatscher and Diedro Mayerl...

You Cannoli Die Once takes a steep line to the left of La Lingua Pura and was bolted from above over 2 days by Tommy Caldwell, Sonnie Trotter and Josh Wharton.The trio made the first free ascent of the route...

An absolute masterpiece, established over three days in September 1983 by Manolo and Roberto Bassi by abseiling in from above, Zanzara e Labbradoro is perhaps the most sought-after multi-pitch sport climb in Arco and the entire Sarca Valley. The route...

An amazing climb that runs on the south face of the famous Zanzara pillar. The rock is always good, excellent even on the final pitches where it follows a logical line of tufas and crimps right through the cener of...

Zeitsprung is a great, interesting climb up the East Face of Cima Grande di Lavaredo. It starts circa 20 meters above the normal route and follows a logical line up slabs and cracks past good quality rock. The route breaches...

Nice and difficult route first ascended, then freed, by the South Tyroleans Martin and Florian Riegler from the ground up in summer 2007 without bolts. Vertical and overhanging crack climbing up good quality rock, with a boulder crux at 20m...

Florian Riegler describes his route as follows: "My brother and I were attracted by the large roof on this wall, perhaps one of the most overhanging in the Dolomites. We stated to bolt the route in summer 2004 but after...
