The routes

Climbing which is not particularly homogeneous but nevertheless with some interesting pitches. Breaching the overhangs is spectacular and very physical up beautiful rock. The final pitch, up rough granite, is a must despite being psychologically demanding. From the penultimate pitch...

Beautiful climbing which varied from slabs to steep overhangs. The fifth pitch presents and beautiful boulder section up a tafoni but this can be avoided by climbing 2 metres to the right, away from the line of bolts. The route...

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...

Sustained and difficult multi-pitch sport climb up always excellent rock, established ground-up. The difficulty of the route, apart from its sustained nature, is given by the fact that the hardest two pitches are located right at the end. All belays...

Nice 120m route which follows a crack on the western arete of Torre Latina, in totally isolated surroundings. Established ground-up on predominantly excellent rock.

Beautiful ice and mixed climb in fantastic surroundings, with a spectacular view onto the  Grostè pistes and then, on the summit, the view down into the enchanting, wild Val di Tovel. The ice gully comes into condition almost every year...

New route opened 26/07/2001 - 15/08/2001 by Mauro ‘Bubu’ Bole on the East Face of Shipton Spire (5850 m), a spectacular granite tower in the Trango valley, Pakistan. The three-man expedition consisted of Mauro Bole, his climbing partner Mario Cortese...

Climbing this route was extremely satisfying, it's only five pitches high but all are extremely beautiful, difficult and different, the rock is always splendid and the scenery is grandiose.The conditions were relatively good, with a thin ice vein on pitches...

Beautiful route established in winter 2011/12 by Manuel Stuflesser and Martin Riegler. Located between the routes Via Zeni and Non ci resta che piangere, the third pitch was established by unknown climbers.

Beautiful modern route which breaches the central pillar by ascending technical and exposed slabs to reach the ridge on ptich 4, called “a curva ro zù Micheli” by the local shepherds. The route then continues up slabs and weathered rock...

Pleasant easy route established by Giorgio Iurato alone with one bivy. Little pro and the wild environment make this a demanding outing which should not be underestimated.

Located high up in the Excalibur sector, the overhanging Ben Hur was established in 1997 by Swiss climbers Mike Schwitter and Andy Maag with long run-outs and few bolts. 12 years after the ascent and with no...

Der Grantler takes a 230m line to the left of "Pegadito en la pared" and shares the first belay. "Although the two climbs run fairly close" explained Kretschmann "Der Grantler is much more than just a variation. The six pitches...

A 17 pitch route established over a five day period by the Ragni di Lecco climbers Angelo Forcignano, Ismaele Fosti, Christian Gianatti, Lorenzo Lanfranchi, Giovanni Ongaro, Simone Pedeferri.

Bambi is situated in a grandiose environment, extremely wild and isolated. The extenuating approach, the 300m climb and long descent render this more an alpine outing than a sport climb. There is plenty of potential for further routes thanks above...

4 March 2010: “A new icefall has been discovered in the Vinadia canyon. It seems incredible that no one ever noticed such ice formations so close to home, or at least, that no ice climber ever took a closer look!”...
