The routes

Nice aid route first ascended by Umberto Marampon and L. Zulian on  Piccolo Dain in 1985 and freed by Rolando Larcher in 2006. The 450m line up one of the most beautiful rock faces in the Sarca valley climb difficulties...

The "Sci Club 18" is a demanding new via ferrata which winds its way up the Crepe di Faloria face, immediately beneath the cable car which leads up to the top of Monte Faloria above Cortina. This difficult and exposed...

Very technical climbing on rock which is reminiscent of the Verdon. The route is bolted but at times there are very long run-outs.Of the routes that I've first ascended in Sardinia, this one has true character, like Hotel Supramonte and...

Nice little three-pitch route up excellent rock, easy to get to as it is located close to the Belvedere Dent d'Aire shortly after La Carel. El Gringo Loco is a good introduction to the longer more exposed climbs in the...

Climbed after five days of preparation at the end of May 2009, Southern Crossing begins by starting up the obvious right leaning ramp until it is possible to traverse directly left into the hanging corner system that forms the route.Majka...

At the start of July 2007 Mauro Bubu Bole from Trieste made the first free ascent of Donnafugata, the 750m route first ascended by none other than Christoph Hainz and Roger Schäli in summer 2004 up the massive vertical bastion...

Pleasant 100m climb located in the Zidane sector on the final outcrop of the Verdon Gorge, with great view onto Lac de Sainte-Croix. The route weaves its way past a series of overhangs in search of the weakest line up...

Fun climb in a great alpine setting close to the Grand Capucin.

Nice climb at altitude. The fast approach and easy return render this a classic outing in the Mont Blanc range.

Easy ascent at altitude. The fast approach and easy return render this an ideal climb to get to know the area.

Trous Secs is a pleasant route up pockets and "gouttes d'eau". The 6c crux pitch is technical and ascends a series of small holds with poor footholds. The final pitch is somewhat polished.

Piccolo Principe is a mix between traditional and modern: traditional for the protection (pegs and natural pro along the pitches, bolts on the belays), and modern due to the direct line which searches for the beauty of climbing up the...

The most popular route on the crag and a great introduction to typical Picos climbing.  The difficulties are mostly low down, but a good eye for route finding is needed to keep you on track!

The blank looking East Face of Naranjo de Bulnes is an intimidating yet inspiring objective.  Early starts are recommended as it’s easy to underestimate the length of the routes on this face.

The most popular route on Naranjo de Bulnes.  This, the original line of ascent, provides a classic outing on good rock in some stunning positions.  A steep but well protected start gradually eases off to more slabby rock that decreases...

Another masterpiece by Philippe Maclé, "Ange" is one of the routes in the gorge. The rock quality is outstanding and the climb takes an extremely exposed line up the Fenrir prow with the entire Verdon void beneath your feet. Soloed...
