The routes

Nido di Rondine is a great modern outing on excellent rock. Varied and satisfying climbing, mainly on a rough slab with featured knobs, but also some corner/crack sections. In 2018 Nicola Castagna and Francesco Salvaterra established (by abseil) a 15m variation...

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...

End of an Era is a beautiful and demanding climb established ground-up on Cima Cee in Val di Tovel in the Brenta Dolomites by Rolando Larcher and Luca Giupponi on 13 - 15 June and 7 July 2019, after Larcher...

A great climb that ascends the narrow portion of the face between the 1970 Schubert Werner and the 191973 Platter Rizzi. The climb was started by Marco Bozzetta in autumn of 2019 with Andrea Concini, who tragically died that winter...

Multicolor is the first route on Monte Petorgnon in Val Pramper, established with bolts except for the characteristic crack pitch which takes trad gear. The route climbs smooth black Dolomite slabs and then continues up the overhanging face. At present...

Short but splendid crack climb up Mount Arista above Sardinia's Perda ‘e Pera beach. Five-star surroundings!

Located at Nid Des Hirondelles, the first crag to be bolted in Valgrisenche, Fessura di Gianfri climbs the obvious diagonal crack that splits the huge overhang.

Sole Incantatore is a beautiful climb up Aguglia di Goloritzé, perhaps the most popular on this huge limestone tower and without a doubt the most repeated multipitch sport climb in Sardinia. Established by abseil in 1995 by Maurizio Oviglia, it...

Calypso is a plaisir rock climb that tackles the wall at the end of the canyon. The climbing is both interesting and varied in a beautiful setting. Although it’s mainly bolted, some sections need protecting with cams. The rock has...

Via del Tehuelche up the North Face of Fitz Roy, Patagonia was first ascended using fixed ropes by Marco Sterni and his Italian team in 1986 but they were forced to turn back 100m short of the summit due to...

Fantastic route up the north face of Aguja Poincenot in one of the less overrun corners of these mountains established in 1986 by Mario Panzeri, Paolo Vitali, Marco Della Santa and Daniele Bosisio. In Febraury 2020 it was repeated by...

One of the first routes up Cerro Trinidad, Sundance was established in March 1996 by British climbers Grant Farquhar and Simon Nadin. The first free ascent of this 22-pitch big wall was carried out by Siebe Vanhee and Diego Diazaguilera...

This rock climb ascends the north face of Campanile Basso past excellent rock. The belays were bolted shortly after the first ascent. For those wishing to climb it, we recommend a combination of routes up through the north face, starting...

Dolasilla is the first route on the west face of Lavarella that breaches the slabs clearly visible from Val Badia and finishes directly at the summit. It provides technical slab climbing and a beautiful traverse and is well worth repeating....

Nostalgie climbs the wall in between Spigolo Comici - Mazzorana and Via Fehrmann on the north face of Cima Piccola. The climb has a very alpine feel to it, all the pegs we used have been left insitu. Some belays...
