The routes

Fairplay is located in the Sella Vallon group on Piz da Lech (2908m) and was established by Simon Gietl & Klaus Gruber from the ground up without the use of bolts and with just trad gear and pegs as protection,...

Difficult new mixed climb in the Sella massif, put up by South Tyrolean alpinists Aaron Moroder and Alex Walpoth established. Climbed onsight and in 5 hours, route tackles one of the many faces on the left-hand side of Val Lasties,...

This route is technical and demanding; the third pitch, which follows a difficult yellow slab and roof, is outstanding. The climbing is sustained 5/6 with a 7 crux (the roof on the third pitch). Strict ethics resulted in about 5/6...

Great ice and mixed climb up the West Face of Sass Pordoi in the Dolomites, climbed over a two-day period after having fixed te first 150m of Via Fedele. On 3 December 2013 Corrado Pesce and Jeff Mercier climbed Via...

Great ice climb in Val de Mesdi, circa 300 mettere high, max WI 4, highly recommended

Great route up good rock, established by  B. De Franceschi and F. Vanzetta in 1978 (pegs and pressure bolts). It was rebolted recently in a combined effort first by R. Bernard and G. Bonanno, then by Luigi Trippa & Co....

This route was first climbed by the pharmacist from Brunico M. Hruschka, together with E. Lunz and R. von Zieglauer back on 28 September 1933. 500m high, it’s classic Dolomite chimney climbing breaches difficulties up to classic grade V. Reinterpreted...

Interesting modern mixed climb to the left of the historic summer route Schwarze Wand and, in winter, the Mur de Pisciadù Eisfall.

Beautiful route which offers technical and pumpy climbing up good to excellent rock. In 2009 the two mountain guides Alberto De Giuli and Renato Bernard re-equipped the routes with bolts, at times run-out, while the third pitch now ascends direct...

Beautiful modern mixed route on Torre Murfrëit close to Passo Gardena in the Sella group, established by Santiago Padrós and Giovanni Andriano over two days, on 17 and 19 December 2019. According to Padròs this is one of the most...

In July 2004 Mauro Bubu Bole frees one of the most eyed-up overhangs in the Dolomites, the mythical Italia ’61. The route was first climbed over 40 years ago by Bepi De Francesch, Quinto Romanin, Emiliano Vuerich and Cesare Franceschetti,...

Jeo is the latest modern sport climb to be established up the East Face of Col de Stagn, after the hugely popular Eva Dorme (6b+ max) and its easier neighbour Ludomania (6a max). Of the three routes currently on this face,...

This classic route is not particularly popular, but unjustifiably so. It takes a central line up the solid yellow grey slabs and the middle pitches are very beautiful indeed. Well worth repeating

The entire route offers varied climbing in a marvelous setting, but should not be underestimated by any means.

Interesting route put up by local mountain guide Renato Bernard and Petra Bernard in 2005. despite being entirely equipped with bolts, the route requires alpine experience due to the quality of the rock and the run-out gear.

The route climbs between the obvious corner taken by Via Zeni and the arete of Via Italia 61, up a series of slabs and two alrge overhangs. The climbing is technical on yellow and grey limestone which is almost...
