The routes

Highly technical climbing on slightly overhanging rock, with a crux slab pitch. Strong fingers needed for the small crimps. Redpoint repeat: Andrea Simonini and Rolando Larcher. No on-sight as yet. Best time of year: October to April.

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...

Didi follows the prominent southern arête of the Pan di Zucchero sea stack near Masua, seeking out the most aesthetic and interesting climbing lines. The marine limestone is excellent, but be very careful on two short sections of unstable blocks...

This solid 4+ takes the large corner that unfortunately is prone to seepage after rain. The only difficult section (V) on the first pitch can be avoided by starting 20m to the left and climbing up the series of small...

In August 2014 the tireless Massimo Da Pozzo and his friend Samuele Majoni chose to restore a great, old route to its former glory: Diedro Fouzigora. Established on 20 August 1944 by Marino Bianchi Fouzìgora and Dino Menardi Selo up...

Logical and extremely exposed line up the obvious corner to the left of the ”Grande Muro”. On the whole the route climbs up fairly solid rock, but in parts though this may be a bit friable.

Dillosauro is located at the Jurassic Park crag on the east coast of Sardinia, and offers exciting climbing up beautiful granite. The line was retraced by Maurizio Oviglia and Fabio Erriu in 2013 after a rockfall had rendered the lower...

Despite its unattractive appearance from below, each pitch offers beautiful, logical, fund and demanding climbing. Don't underestimate the difficulties because of the bolts, the route demands great trad climbing skills. Established ground-up, the aim was to leave it as trad...

Diretta al Borelli is a beautiful 650-meter line that reaches the Rifugio Borelli hut on Mont Noir de Peuterey. Dspite the bolts on the wall, this is by means a sport climb but an alpine route, where you must pay...

A nice route up good quality rock, more sustained and with less in-situ gear than nearby Grande Muro.

Direttissima di Patry does not always form but, when it does, Mother Nature offers a true work of art which simply must be climbed. The drip wedged is in between the classic finish on the left and Candelone di Patri...

Pleasant climb that searches for the line of least resistance up the most repulsive section of the west pillar of Monte Spitz.

New ice climbing called Dlacion de Frea, which in local Ladin 'Frea ice drip’. The route ascends an icy chimney that has not not formed during the last 30 - 40 years. The ice varies from being very thin to cauliflower...

50m long, 25m overhanging, named after the legendary Fanes princess... this is Dolasilla, the beautiful and difficult mixed route discovered and established by South Tyrolean alpinist Florian Riegler and subsequently freed by Pavol Rajcan.

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....
