The routes

Cold couloir is a grand and magnificent climb, often in good conditions. The icefall is long and similar to routes at altitude. Most climbers reach the top of pitch 5 and then abseil off as the upper section proves less...

The route breaches the smooth central slabs with some sustained aid (the third pitch is currently the hardest of its kind in this mountain chain). Plan for a bivy (a good site is the 4th belay at the large ledge)....

A demanding route up the left-hand side of the pillar. The compact and featured rock is one of the best to be found on the Tofana. The fourth and fifth pitches are the hardest, but the rest of the route...

Class outing through into one of the most beautiful areas on the Gran Sasso and the entire Appenines. The Calderone glacier should be ascended in late spring, from the end of May to the start of July, when the ancient...

Great mixed climb in Val Travenanzes in the Dolomites; short but intense, established without bolts and pegs. The climb can be combined with the other ice climbs such as 'Pilone Centrale', 'Trans Travenanzes', 'Attraversando Travenanzes' or 'Il soffio di Horus'...

Così parlò Zarathustra is a beautiful rock climb that ascends the obvious corner up Trono di Osiride, first ascended with the use of aid in 183 by Daniele Caneparo and Isidoro Meneghin. Ignored for many years, the route was climbed...

This is surely the most famous and popular route on this wall, thanks to its intrinsic beauty and perfect line. It is long and demanding, and initially climbs the crack line up the grey rock to the first ledge. From...

Long couloir, fun and a great training route, first ascended solo by Cristian Candiotto on 22/12/2007.

This drip is located in Valle della Pietra - Valle di Trona, a side valley of Val Gerola.

This winter climb follows an evident drip of ice up the entire face, past some mixed sections on the first pitches. It is often possibile to protect yourself on rock using Friends (we recommend an entire rack plus some micro friends)....

An easy itinerary along the south face of Antersass, should be tackled mainly on transformed snow or even at the beginning of winter, if the snow is stable.

Dragging a 6000kg 149/G cannon from Temù, located at circa 1000m altitude, to Cresta Croce above 3000m: this was an undertaking which had never been achieved previously. Few thought that this task was feasible, but in 1916 the Italian troops...

The Dolomites offer an exceptional variety of treks, from simple walks down in the valleys to long traverses high up at altitude. The Croda da Lago ring close to Cortina is certainly one of the most rewarding outings due to...

Nice icefall dedicated to Cristian Candiotto's future wife.

Crysalis by Grenke was established ground-up over a period of 3 years by Davide Lagomarsino and Alviero Garau on Punta Giradili on the east coast of Sardinia. The new route explores the totally virgin south-east face, marked by two huge...

Mixed line which follows a logical rocky corner, just to the left of the pillar and “Questo gioco di Fantasmi”. The rock is friable in sections and at times both dirty and covered in grass, meaning that favourable ice conditions...
