The routes

Vecioti e Zovenoti offers two fun and varied pitches; drips and vertical ice at the start provide beautiful moves in search of the easiest line, while the angle eases off on the second pitch but the ice becomes thinner and...

Fluido Giallo is an elegant three-pitch outing which can easily be combined with the classic Rio Pelous.

Tupac Amaru - Carpe Diem is a fun and very beautiful three-pitch ice climb. After an easy first slabby pitch the icefall steepens and alternates delicate mixed sections with vertical, articulated ice. A bolt and peg were placed on the...

The Grotta di Pian was bolted by Mario Prinoth and Renato Bernard, with the help of other local climbers. It is is an ideal training venue for bigger climbs in the mountains and to learn the subtleties of "dry-tooling". The...

The marvellous icefall which falls directly down from the so-called Pelmo "throne" is impossible to ignore when driving up from Zoppè di Cadore or walking towards Rifugio Venezia A. De Luca (1946m). The icefall requires perfect temperatures due to its...

Interesting and fun drip at the start of Val Grande in a quiet setting. Although the route was climbed in two pitches, we suggest the second pitch is split into two.

An an elegant three pitch mixed route above Köfels. Bolts were placed on-lead on 26 December 2010, and the route was subsequently redpointed on 2 January by both Leichtfried and Fiegl.

The route offers varied climbing up magnificent rock: a warm-up pitch up "coral-like" rock is followed by a very overhanging pitch with a no-hands rest at half-height and a hard fingery sequence to reach the belay. Pitch 3, after a...

Scharf, mit alles… is an interesting and unusual ice climb for the Bernese Oberland,  with almost 600m of vertical height gain (and 1000m of climbing) it is one of the longest climbs of this genre in the Alps, ascending four...

Splendid icefall which rarely forms, clearly visible from the Tre Croci pass and the car park at Rio Gere.

Clearly visible from the SS51 Alemagna road which leads to Cortina d'Ampezzo, the Cascata Per Leo is an aesthetically perfect line which, when formed, attracts the gaze of all ice climbers. Due to the fact that it rarely comes into...

Short climb up a nice drip on the second pitch, in the unique Piantonetto surroundings. The climb necessitates long cold spells to come into condition. Those wishing to continue can combine it with the nearby route Incontro Generazionale.Details about a...

A route which rarely comes into condition. The ice is thin in places and this renders the climb demanding despite the fact that there are few vertical sections. The route faces south, takes a line up massive rock gradients and...

Pleasant and interesting route up slabs, cracks and corners, with some technical sections up good quality limestone. The route takes a line up the West Face of Rocca Ramusa, the isolated tower close to the forest Bosco della Ficuzza and...

La gioia nel silenzio, the joy you find in silence, is a satisfying, fairly isolated route which offers varied climbing: crimps, pockets, technical slabs and powerful overhangs. The start is difficult to find since there are no paths, apart from...

A beautiful, steep and demanding gully which is surprisingly skiable and cuts down the West Face of Piccolo Lagazuoi, to the left of the Trapezio and directly down to Forte Tre Sassi. By descending behind the fort and crossing the ...
