The routes

The Kaiserjäger War Path, lierally emperor's hunters, is a hike which really shouldn't be missed in Cortina, set deep in the majestic Ampezzo Dolomites, more precisely on Mount Lagazuoi. As the name suggests, this route is linked to the history...

Kalipe is a sustained mixed climb up the North Face of Peitlerkofel with a crux pitch that is difficult to protect. Five pitons were placed, only at the belays.

Kindergarten is a modern route that requires skillful placing of trad gear, with bolts on only the most compact sections. All threads have been left in-situ, and the belays feature two 10mm bolts each (except the first, which has a bolt...

Nice icefall, one of the best in the area, not to be missed. Even if it faces SW the icefall receives the sun at the start of February only.

L Pilaster Desmincià, the forgotten pillar, climbs the NW Face of Sass Rigais. Although the rock is rather loose on the lower and upper section, the central part of the route contains rock that is 'pure joy.'

The Molignon peak dominates the upper Duron valley with its imposing face that marks the southern end of the Seiser Alm. The route takes a line up the eastern flank and finished immediately to the right of the Molignon di...

Established ground-up, the new multi-pitch rock climb L'uomo volante ascends the south face of Quarto Torrione di Mondeval in the Lastoni di Formin group in the Italian Dolomites. It runs parrallel to Forza 5, and the crux involves breaching the...

Established by Massimo Da Pozzo and Pier Francesco Smaltini in September 2012, La beffa (the joke) gets it's name from the fact that the drill batteries dies two bolts short of the summit, forcing Mox to return to finish off...

Alpine outing up the north face of Focobon, offering great but somewhat severe climbing due to the poor pro. La Bestia is technically harder but offers more pro with cams on the rock. Both La Bella and La Bestia ascend...

A beautiful and psychologically demanding outing as many sections require trad gear for protection... This latest addition to the valley, during a Mountain Guide training course in 2011, offers difficult ice and delicate mixed climbing!

Cascata di ghiaccio sulla parete denominata La Palazza, in Val Zemola, Dolomiti d'Oltrepiave, salita il 05/01/2017 da Santiago Padrós e Luca Vallata. 

Beautiful and by no means easy ice climb with a slightly overhanging exit.

Top-class line on the north-east face of Crozzon di Val d'Agola, with beautiful climbing, at times quite difficult and exposed.

A beautiful, sustained and demanding route up the steep wall above the Grotta della Tofana. On excellent rock, this is perhaps one of the easiest of Massimo Da Pozzo’s modern offerings.

La Gana tla Pera on the south face of Neunerspitze / Sasso delle Nove provides beautiful slab climbing on excellent rock, between the famous Messner route and Somnium.
