The routes

The Cassin up Cima Ovest di Lavaredo is a beautiful route, one of the classics in the Dolomites. Exposed and sustained climbing up to 7a, on fairly solid rock.

Modern bolt and peg route to the left of Via Comici. The upper section is loose and less protected, most climbers therefore descend at half-height.

Beautiful slab climbing up compact, weathered rock. The route starts to the right of Gimmi and avoids the top roofs by traversing left above them.

This route takes a direct line on the left-hand side of Taé, up a series of compact slabs, crossing Via G. Milan towards the finish.

A recent “classic” addition that climbs the arête to the left of Diedro Dallago, up good quality rock. 18 pegs were placed on the first ascent, and the difficulties, apart from the third crux pitch, are in the region of...

A modern route to the right of Via degli Scoiattoli, slightly easier than nearby Via Falcone e Borsellino. Bolted on lead, it is well worth repeating thanks to its excellent quality rock and climbing.

Fantastic, demanding climbing up excellent quality rock to the left of Via degli Scoiattoli. The in-situ gear, a mixture of bolts and pegs, is fairly run-out at times.

A classic route through the center of the Tofana di Mezzo’s beautiful East Face. First ascended with the help of aid, it now goes free at 7a. Excellent quality rock, except for a few rare exceptions, and plenty of in-situ...

Elegant climbing in a grandiose setting, up the imposing third arête on the left-hand side of Pilastro di Rozes. The rock is generally good quality and the difficulties remain sustained from the second half upwards. The in-situ gear is sufficient...

The route climbs to the right of La danza del tapiro and is similar in style but somewhat more demanding and run-out. Excellent quality rock.

A beautiful, sustained and demanding route up the steep wall above the Grotta della Tofana. On excellent rock, this is perhaps one of the easiest of Massimo Da Pozzo’s modern offerings.

This classic route tackles a central line through the complex South Face of the Tofana. It is considered one of the most beautiful on the entire wall, in a grandiose setting. Despite its grade it requires a fair degree of...

The route takes a rising line through the center of the pillar, to the left of the amphitheatre, and joins Via Eötvöss Dimai just before the traverse. The climbing is sustained and run-out up relatively good rock. The line requires...

A modern route to the left of Via del Drago. It is protected with 10 mm bolts and on the whole the rock quality is good, apart from some friable sections on the first pitches. Either abseil back down the...

An interesting and relatively unknown route on the right-hand side of the Lagazuoi’s North Face. The rock quality is fairly good, but a bit loose in the upper section.

First ascended in winter 1972 with few pegs and no aid, this route represented a milestone in mountaineering both for its grade and style of ascent. Nowadays it is an interesting route, perhaps slightly discontinuous, but worth repeating, if only...
