The routes

Jottnar is a tricky, not obvious line. A blank canvas of corners and grooves leading back up towards the top of the Cosmiques Arete": four pitches with difficulties up to Scottish grade VIII,8. The 60m fourth pitch leads right onto...

Königsspitze in German, Gran Zebrù in Italian, this attractive, fascinating pyramid is the most beautiful mountain in the area. And, understandably, one of the coveted ascents for every self-respecting ski mountaineer as the sweeping views from north to south fill...

From 5 - 7 April Ben Erdmann, Jess Roskelley and Kristoffer Szilas made the first ascent of Hypa Zypa Couloir up the East Face of the Citadel in the Kichatna Range, Alaska.  The trio established in the route in 70...

A  stunning colouir that splits the North Face of Sass Dlacia in Alta Badia, Dolomites.

The new route Oiscura... L'eco del Baratro was first ascended ground-up using a drill and hook and without intermediate gear and it takes a line through the cave to the left of the beautiful Via Mediterraneo on Punta Giradili. Those...

Sinfonia del mulino bianco is a good-natured play on words and refers back to Sinfonia dei mulini a vento on the Aguglia of Goloritzé, the famous rock climb put up by Manolo and Gogna. The new climb is like the...

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...

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...

Pleasant rock climb Valle dei Laghi established ground-up by Peter Moser and Alessandro Beber in April 2012 and then freed by the first ascentionists. "During the ground-up first ascent we used some trad gear (some small and mid-sized friends)...

The ski mountaineering trip to Monte Rinalpi or, better still, Vallone di Rinalpi is certainly one of those outings that deserve putting in that little bit extra; the altitude gain and its overall length will almost definitely be rewarded with...

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.

Mixed ice climb, protected by bolts on the lower section, put up in 2010 by Valentin Riegler and Hannes Lemayr and freed in winter 2013 by Martin and Florian Riegler.

A true classic. A section of pitch 2 is partially hidden from below.

Interesting icefall with a first section of thin ice immediately to the right of Fossekjerringa which serves as an ideal combination.

Very beautiful icefall with a steep start: pay particular attention here if the ice is thin.

This icefall is located in the Supermario sector. The lower section of the route forms frequently while the upper drip formed and touched down thanks to the abundant rainfall in autumn 2012. This is a great journey past hanging drips...
