The routes

Classic route, one of the most popular in the Dolomites. It follows a line of thin cracks up the west face of the third Torre del Sella. The crux leads to a roof above the large ledge at half-height and...

This masterpiece, first climbed by Vinatzer in 1936, is one of the most classic and popular outings on the wall, and nowadays the link up with the Direct Messner route in the upper section is definitely recommended. The first part...

Great route up the SW Face of Meisules de la Bièsces characterised by a large roof crux at mid-height, followed technical climbing in a superb mountain environment.The 12 pitch route was first ascended by Val Gardena locals Ivo Rabanser and Stefan Comploi...

Over a three day period in September 2014 the South Tyrolean mountaineers Simon Gietl and Andrea Oberbacher forged a new rock climb up Heiligkreuzkofel, also referred to as Sass de la Crusc. Voodoo-Zauber, climbs six independent pitches up the righthand...

The icefall is located in a gully just above Gressoney St. Jean, hidden up to today (perhaps) from indiscreet glances. Each of the three pitches of Wait and Bleed differ significantly from each other but each are particular and striking.

Dedicated to Sole who was born in June, their Waiting for the sun behind the moon offers varied climbing up a series of slabs, cracks and corners. Pitch 2 offers a bombè roof which still need freeing - presumably at...

Wasserläufer is a pleasant route in a great ambient; you often climb just a stone’s throw from the Margarethenbach waterfall, which shouldn’t be underestimated. The route was established ground-up with bolts. A big thank you to the Hochtourengruppe Lana for...

Weg der Neugier was established ground-up in summer 2015 by Hannes Pfeifhofer, Lisi Steurer, Markus Tschurtschenthaler with bolts past difficulties estimated at IX-.

Climbed ground-up by the mountain guides Daniele Macagno and Enrico Turnaturi in summer 2013. While not particularly long, the climbing is fairly demanding and the rock is almost always superb. Another plus point is the short approach: if the road that...

This new route in the Gola del Limarò, unlike the previous ones, is a sport climb and offers beautiful and technical climbing up the “dominant” line of this compact face. What renders this climbing unique though is something else: while...

A very beautiful mixed outing, both complete and demanding: rock and mixed climbing leads to a small ledge on the left and then, around the corner, a beautiful corner rises sharply upwards. This is followed by another, with a thin...

Wolkenreise up Pilastro di Misurina above Lake Misurina in the Cadini group of the Italian Dolomites is a 5-pitch alpine sports climb that certainly deserves repeating. The first three pitches climb solid slabs, while on the last two pitches the...

Over a six day period this summer the two South Tyrolean climbers Josef Hilpold and Ulrich Viertler made the first ascent of Wüstenblume - desert flower - up the pillar located between the routes Mutschlecher - Großrubatscher and Diedro Mayerl...

The ice climbing crag at Ceresole Reale (Turin), created artificially with water pumped down the cliff.

You Cannoli Die Once takes a steep line to the left of La Lingua Pura and was bolted from above over 2 days by Tommy Caldwell, Sonnie Trotter and Josh Wharton.The trio made the first free ascent of the route...

Zahnlos is a mixed climb that rarely comes into condition on the North Face of Seekofel / Croda del Becco above Lake Braies in the Dolomites. The first pitch is very delicate due to the poor rock quality. Plus not...
