The routes

On 19 September Massimo Antonini and Giampaolo Calzà completed the first ascent of Via Giovanni Segantini on the East Face of Monte Colodri, Arco, Italy. The route pays homage to both the 1858 Arco born artist and the art of...

First ascended by Rolando Larcher and Maurizio Oviglia on Punta Cusidore, the west face of Bruncu Nieddu, just a few meters away from the historic "Spalle al Muro" (Bernardi Demichela, 1981), one of the legendary routes of the 1980's. British Way...

Silbergeier is a fantastic route in a marvellous position. The route is perfectly vertical and offers super technical face climbing on small edges and microscopic footholds. The moves are hard to decipher, especially the first time on the route which...

In July 2004 Mauro Bubu Bole frees one of the most eyed-up overhangs in the Dolomites, the mythical Italia ’61. The route was first climbed over 40 years ago by Bepi De Francesch, Quinto Romanin, Emiliano Vuerich and Cesare Franceschetti,...

Short and fun route. The first section is easy and fun, while the second is slightly more demandind and climbs a mixed section up a crimpy slab and poor rock.

A fantastic mixed line up a free-standing drip.

One of the most extraordinary and longest icefalls in the world. Calculate 12.5 hours to climb this route. The route was redpointed on 19 February after a 2 day attempt at the start of February by Robert Jasper and Markus...

One of the longest ice climbs in the world.

Beautiful and slender free-standing drip first ascended after the first repeat of “Cohésion zero”. If the drip is too precarious, it is possible to protect the start using the plants on the side.

Super Stridente climbs the Tridente directly in a truly spectacular setting.

Rightly described as "sublime" in the guidebook. A pocketed technical slab gives way to a strenuous overhanging pitch, which can also be overcome in A0. The rock and atmosphere on this 8 pitch route in the Sector Paroi Rouge are...

A sustained, strenuous 12 pitch outing up magnificent rock!

An excellent, sustained masterpiece, considered to be one of the best at Presles. Located in the Sector Chrysanthemes, the first half of this six pitch route is technical and fingery, while the second airy and pumpy. Not to be missed.

One of easiest routes on this wall (similar in grade to Voie d'Eliane) in the Sector les Buis. Excellent grey limestone, extremely well protected, at times vegetated.

Long and demanding icefall which usually has a drytooling start graded M7+. In 2009 a column of ice came into condition along the entire rock face, and the climb was therefore formed completely.
