The routes

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.

Another fun and nice da Pozzo route up the Primo Spigolo of the Tofana di Rozes. First ascended together with Natasha Alexander in July 2006, from the large ledge at circa 100-150m beneath the summit it shares the final two...

Established ground-up, the new multi-pitch rock climb L'uomo volante ascends the south face of Quarto Torrione di Mondeval in the Lastoni di Formin group in the Italian Dolomites. It runs parrallel to Forza 5, and the crux involves breaching the...

Established by Massimo Da Pozzo and Pier Francesco Smaltini in September 2012, La beffa (the joke) gets it's name from the fact that the drill batteries dies two bolts short of the summit, forcing Mox to return to finish off...

Alpine outing up the north face of Focobon, offering great but somewhat severe climbing due to the poor pro. La Bestia is technically harder but offers more pro with cams on the rock. Both La Bella and La Bestia ascend...

Beautiful icefall located close to Lochere close to Lake Caldonazzo in the Valsugana, right at the start of the narrow Val Scura. This drip rarely, if ever, comes into contiona and since it's situated at a low altitude it offers...

Alpine outing up the north face of Focobon, offering great but somewhat severe climbing due to the poor pro. La Bestia is technically harder but offers more pro with cams on the rock. Both La Bella and La Bestia ascend...

Beautiful and by no means easy ice climb with a slightly overhanging exit.

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...

In mid-September the Italian Rolando Larcher 2002 made the first ascent of the "La Grande Onda - Big Wave". Located deep in the Dolomites on the Torre Sprit, this 500m route clocks in at 8a. According to Larcher this...

La Piccola Sgualdrina is a mixed climb in Val Pramper, Dolomites, immediately next to the famous icefall Gran Dama. "All things considered I believe this route become a classic mixed outing, never trivial but not too difficult either. The line...

La Spada nella Roccia is a stupendous drip which forms from a cave. It was first climbed by Maurizio Gallo in the 1980's and represented an important step forward for piolet traction in the Western Alps.Sottoguda represents an obligatory ice...

La vita è bella is located on the same face as this historic Via del Drago (C. Barbier, A. Giambisi, C. Platter, 1969), climbs the black stream to the left of Das Orakel (Simon Gietl, Patrick Seiwald 2013). and crosses...

This is a beautiful outing thanks to the magnificent surroundings and the steep rock faces that tower high above. The imposing SW Face of Cima Scottoni dominates all: first climbed by the Scoiattoli L. Lacedelli, L. Ghedina and G. Lorenzi...

This is a short but interesting round trip that explores the area at the foot of Monte Faloria, just above Cortina and close to the immense Monte Cristallo. It leads to the “bewitched” Lake Costalaresc and has an excellent view...

This is a beautiful itinerary that starts from the top station of the Col Gallina chairlift and leads up to the col Forcella dell’Averau. It then returns, towards the magnificent south face of the Tofana di Rozes, down to Rifugio...
