The routes

The first two pitches are demanding although somewhat sweeter thanks to the excellent bolting. The rock on pitches 2, 3 and 5 is outstanding!

Established with the use of aid Adriano Trombetta and Aziz with difficulties up to A2, Duel was subsequently freed on 5 october 2011 by the first ascentionists. As the name suggests, beautiful twin cracks offer physical, continuous and elegant climbing.

Established in autumn 2019, El Despertador Fotonico is the latest addition to Escudo del Qualido. It tackles a line on the righthand side and was climbed ground-up with trad gear where possible and is otherwise equipped with 10 mm stainless...

Beautiful route up excellent quality rock which climbs the large water streak. The route follows a line close to the waterfall and this renders it particularly fascinating. Calculate 5 hours for the ascent.

End of the Flare climbs the prominent flake offwidth crack seen from the road close to Fornolosa. The first pitch is hidden in the trees and offers powerful and pumpy climbing.

First ascended by Ezio Marlier and Elisabetta Caserini, this route takes a line close to those climbed by Cesare Ravaschietto and Fabio Vivalda on what is often described as being one of the most beautiful rock faces in Piemonte, both...

Bolted climb put up by Bruno Sartorelli and Danilo Serafini up the second bastion of Mondeval, the beautiful pillar that together with the others forms the sunny south Face of Lastoni di Formin.

A modern route through the center of the face, up grey rock to the right of Spigolo Priolo. Easier and less sustained than nearby Spiderman, the climbing is demanding with a 7b crux and obligatory 7a.

Via Fabio Comini it follows a logical line up the Padaro rock face, past pumpy and varied climbing along chimneys, corners and cracks. The six pitch outing is about 180 meters high and, although fairly short, is nevertheless demanding. The...

First ascended in winter 1972 with few pegs and no aid, this route represented a milestone in mountaineering both for its grade and style of ascent. Nowadays it is an interesting route, perhaps slightly discontinuous, but worth repeating, if only...

Fairplay is located in the Sella Vallon group on Piz da Lech (2908m) and was established by Simon Gietl & Klaus Gruber from the ground up without the use of bolts and with just trad gear and pegs as protection,...

On 11 July 2017, in temperatures at the absolute limit of what is bearable, the Czech climber Jan Kareš and his friend Jaro Ovcacek bolted a new climb up the beautiful East Face of Punta Argennas. The route is vertical...

Short but interesting outing up the South Face, forged ground-up with 10mm bolts over three days in June 2013.

Fat Tony climbs the leftwards diagonal crack with great difficulty until the roof is reached. After bathanging, continue to glory...!

Another excellent bolt route up the exposed buttress. The route partially follows an old aid-route. The climbing is very similar to that on the other routes nearby: sustained and technical.
