The routes

Sustained sport climb up excellent rock which requires special care only on the Vi pitch. Pitch 4 is the highlight, with a difficult crux followed by continuous, tiring and elegant climbing. Established ground-up over a series of days without any...

The rock face which hosts the route Pompa funebre is located close to Palermo's port and is reached by crossing the Arenella quarter and the monumental Rotoli cemetery. This gets its name form the rocks which sometimes rotoli, sometimes roll...

A classic alpine ice route established in May 2011: three very alpine like pitches with thin ice and scrappy mixed climbing led to another three  three sustained ice pitches and the top of the seracs. The route finishes on the...

In April 2011 a small French team comprised of Arnaud Petit, Aymeric Clouet and young Enzo Oddo travelled to the Taghia Gorge in Morocco where they created Walou Bass, a 150m climb with difficulties up to 8c.The trio climbed the...

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,...

The Alta Via dell'Adamello is journey into Italy's past, via the remains and signs of the White War which, for four years, witnessed Italians and Austrians battle against each other at over 3000m altitude in unimaginable conditions during the First...

Highly demanding via ferrata which requires alpine experience and a good level of general fitness. The ferrata has an elevation gain of 400, and reaches an altitude of 970m by climbing a series of beautiful and steep limestone slabs which...

American mountaineers Michael Schaefer and Kate Rutherford started up the main difficulties a few hundred meters east of the California route on 09/02/2011, with Rutherford taking over most of the leading. Progress was slow initially due to iced...

"Piantobaldo" was the name Bruno "Camos” Tassi  gave to Roby Piantoni. After the first two pitches shared with Orobic Ice the route continues for a total of 11 pitches and 600m to climb the NW Face of Presolana Occidentale. This...

Mixed line which follows a logical rocky corner, just to the left of the pillar and “Questo gioco di Fantasmi”. The rock is friable in sections and at times both dirty and covered in grass, meaning that favourable ice conditions...

Nice route, far from the usual ice climbing destinations...

Super Goofer can be climbed in two ways. A first 35m pitch up 75/80° ice (Goofer direct, grade 3) or a corner gully to the left which leads directly to the base of the upper drip.

Very difficult mixed route. In some seasons a direct first pitch comes into condition, but this is extremely rare.

Very interesting line with conditions - and consequently difficulties - which vary considerably from one year to the next. In some seasons it is an almost exclusively mixed outing.

The "unnamed icefall" is located to the right of the classic "Rio Pelous". Climb the first pitch up a chimney/gully past a wedged tree trunk and continue up a further two pitches of weathered ice. The route is clearly visible...

A great gully set in a quiet and beautiful environment which is reminiscent of the gullies in the Western Alps, more than the classic icefalls in the Dolomites. The route alternates vertical ice, short snow patches and mixed sections which...
