The routes

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...

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...

During the mid-half of latter century the Grotta di Tofana was a highly popular outing with visiting tourists, now though it is has fallen into disuse. I believe though that the walk and ferrata remains a highly interesting outing, above...

The route climbs to the right of La danza del tapiro and is similar in style but somewhat more demanding and run-out. Excellent quality rock.

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.

A nice, unknown and never before published route up good rock. It is similar in grade to Costantini Ghedina, whose finish it shares. The final three pitches, and in particular the short pitch above the ledge, are the hardest.

Route first ascended from the ground up using 10mm stainless steel bolts. Although not top end, the difficulties are continuous and the route is strenuous due to its length. Medium and small camming devices recommend, as well as long quickdraws...

First climbed during July 2007 from the ground up by the Slovenians Marko Lukic and Andrej Grmovsek, "Never give up" climbs the large roof direct to the right of "A quarant'anni dalla Cima" (Dal Pra, 1996) This is how they...

No Credit is a difficult route first ascended in summer 2014 by the two South Tyrolean Mountain Guides Simon Gietl and Daniel Tavanini up the SW Face of Tofana di Rozes

An extremely popular mid-grade route. It initially follows the large corner at the base of the arête, then continues up slightly to the left of the arête, before moving right to avoid the roofs. This traverse and corner above constitute...

Route first ascended from the ground up using stainless steel 10mm bolts. Although not top end, the difficulties are continuous and the route is strenuous due to its length. Medium and small camming devices recommend.

The Tofana di Rozes circuit is definitely one of my favourite outings because of its wonderful natural environment, interesting history in both war and peace and for the legendary Minighèl ladder and Tofana di Rozes itself which, for me, is...

Beautiful, airy line up Tofana's south facing Pilastro di Rozes. It was first ascended from the ground-up over a three-day period in September 2005 by Massimo Da Pozzo and Marcello Menardi and subsequently freed by Massimo Da Pozzo in June...

A relatively easy and popular climb (UIAA 4 and 5, one 6- crux) up the left-hand arête of the Pilastro della Tofana di Rozes. The three hard pitches traverse leftwards past two large yellow roofs at half height. Paradoxically, the...

Great route established by Massimo Da Pozzo up the second arête on the Pilastro della Tofana di Rozes.With all belays equipped for the abseils and its south facing orientation, Spigolo Sam is certainly an interesting outing on one of the...

Elegant climbing in a grandiose setting, up the imposing third arête on the left-hand side of Pilastro di Rozes. The rock is generally good quality and the difficulties remain sustained from the second half upwards. The in-situ gear is sufficient...
