The routes

Via dei Balotini was established with bolts, trad gear and in the cold. The climb tackles sections of very compact rock thanks to the bolts, but wherever possible trad gear was used, meaning that some pitches have a particularly alpine...

The rock face is hidden and located in an incredibly beautiful and wild part of the canyon called Gola del Limarò. We spent three days making the first ascent, using fixed ropes and topping out on the pillar close to...

Via del Trenino, the route of the small train, was climbed ground-up in autumn 1986 with some pegs, a few hexes and wooden wedges for protection by Giampaolo Calzà Trota, Andrea Zucchelli and Rino Zanotti. In autumn 2014 Calzà and Danny Zampiccoli...

Delenda Carthago, established by Rolly Galvagni and Massimo Maceri in May 2002, offers elegant climbing up excellent slabs with difficulties up to 6b. Bolted on lead, there are some old pegs on the lower section of the route as this...

Via dla Surité is located in another hidden corner of the Dolomites, on the sunny south face of Piz Parom. It is thanks to the somewhat challenging approach that the route gets its name, Via dla Surité, which translated from...

Via Elia breaches the SW Face of Steviola, high above the village Selva di Val Gardena, with nine pitches of sustained climbing. The route is protected with 10mm bolts.

Beautiful aid climb up the NW Face of Monte Brione, close to Arco between Riva and Torbole. The route was rebolted in November 2013 by Paolo Calzà and Danny Zampiccoli.

On 19 September Massimo Antonini and Giampaolo Calzà completed the first ascent of Via Giovanni Segantini on the East Face of Monte Colodri, Arco, Italy. The route pays homage to both the 1858 Arco born artist and the art of...

Via Greta was established ground-up over several days in autumn 2018 by Nicola Castagna and Francesco Salvaterra. "The line fully met our expectations, every pitch is beautiful and generally speaking up good rock. Moreover the route follows a line of...

Via l'ultimo dei selvaggi ascends the most beautiful and compact slabs of the face above the village of Palu.The route is equipped with bolts but definitely has a very alpine feel to it due to the morphology of the rock...

Established in late autumn and early winter - from 2005 onwards - to avoid rocks falling onto the famous Bocchette via ferrata and the Via Normale, Via Ladri now offers cleaned rock, beautiful in most parts, with the final pitches...

Via Lisa on the east face of Torre d'Ambiez is a traditional route that climbs the line between Via Anna and Via Armani. It provides pleasant and beautiful climbing, especially on the arête of the second half. The overall effort...

Via Mirko, a fantastic 19-pitch climb that leads to the summit of Monte Steviola.The route is well-equipped, but since all pitches are sustained, the outing is an interesting, not-to-be-underestimated free climbing challenge.

Via Monologica on Torre di Mezzaluna in Vallaccia was established ground-up over a period of 4 days, with 10mm stainless steel bolts on the pitches and at the belays.

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...

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...
