The routes

Established ground-up in November 2011 by the Americans Chris Kalous and Jonathan Thesenga except for the crux pitch, Blow it up on the internet offers "near-perfect brown and orange rock with sculpted jugs, tufas and thin cracks, overhanging the entire...

Forza di Polacco on the north face of Monte Monaco tackles a completely independent line up a beautiful, overhanging pillar and is fully equipped with bolts and belays. 

Climbed ground-up over a period of four days in December 2013, the 5-pitch line first ascended by Lukas Binder and Florian Hagspiel in December 2013 is protected by a mix of pegs, bolts and wires and breaches difficulties up to...

Interesting modern route up the North Face.

Demanding and continuous climb up the completely vertical and smooth North Face. The max difficulties still need confirming. At present the first free ascent is still outstanding and this represents a great challenge. The Pizzo Campana limestone is very smooth...

First ascended ground-up, the route climbs the north face of the Rotoli wall, located above the Palermo cemetery (Rotoli cemetery). The route runs just to the right of Silvan  and significantly to the left of Pompa funebre, and is completely...

Volo di Pegasus is a beautiful route which climbs perfect rock and is marked by the incredible rock formations and tufas. First ascended on-sight from the ground-up by visiting Austrians Albert Leichtfried & Reinhard Ranner, the route climbs difficulties up...

Pleasant and interesting route up slabs, cracks and corners, with some technical sections up good quality limestone. The route takes a line up the West Face of Rocca Ramusa, the isolated tower close to the forest Bosco della Ficuzza and...

Fantastic modern climb up slabs and through overhang, demanding and varied, with some impressive pitches. Exposure guaranteed. Bolts at times run-out with difficult obligatory sections.

An absolutely unique route because of its setting, the quality of the rock, but above all because I had never come across such contained difficulties on an overhang as big as this one. The route overhangs almost 60m with difficulties...

La lingua pura is perhaps my finest multi-pitch route to date. The route quality is outstanding and alternates a series of tufas and compact corners to climb the impressive North Face of Monte Monaco high above San Vito lo Capo...

Pleasant route up excellent quality slabs and cracks, with some technical sections in wild surroundings.

The route climbs the large North Face of Monte Monaco and heads to a large pillar that terminates below the summit on large grassy terraces. Although the difficulties are not extreme, only few bolts were placed during the first ascent...

Alpine multi-pitch that requires excellent technical ability and superb trad climbing skills. 200m high, the route overhangs 30m making a retreat very difficult. The rock quality is good and the route follows a line of tufas. Due to the proximity...

Pleasant easy route established by Giorgio Iurato alone with one bivy. Little pro and the wild environment make this a demanding outing which should not be underestimated.

Mona Lisa on Monte Gallo provides spectacular climbing past a series of pockets, cracks, crimps and corners on near-flawless white-and-red rock from the bottom all the way to the top. The only exceptions being the first and last pitches, which,...
