For the routes-db. bellaitalia redpointing this splitter that should be her hardest crack sent so far. pic taken by chrtur.

getting past that flake was fun. the dihedral above is decorated with rap tat from people who got off-route or bailed.

yeah I know it's a butt shot, but gives an impression of the route.

What a splendid day, and a really nice multi-pitch climb. Pic taken by tisar.

That's the view from Monte Colt towards Arco (you see the castle rock) and Lake Garda in the background.

That's the crux move on p1 of Tredicesima Luna. It's in a slightly overhanging, uncomfortable dihedral. After that, the route becomes REALLY nice. Pic taken by tisar.

This is Torre Firenze in the Dolomites, shot for the routes-db.

that's heiko in the dolomites, 2006-09-03

This is soulslight on the short walking section of Alba del Nirvana. It was his 2nd trad lead... congrats! :)

Just to provide an idea of the route. That's bellaitalia on lead.

This is a view on most of Fessura della Disperazione. Yes, it's offwidth.

This is the last small pro for many many meters on this route. Steve-o on lead, bellaitalia in the middle.

That's one of the pillars that's standing around at the base of Sergent. There are are two very hard sport routes on it, one of them a 5.14 slab route.

Just to have a pic attached to the route. Slab warm-up for the rest of our trip to Val di Mello. Pic taken by Paolo75.

Bought this from a friend, an old bigwall freak, don't know how old it is but I love it for its lightness. Always good to produce a scared expression on the faces of my buddies, and I really wonder why.

This is Dimore degli Dei and I have to write at least 40 characters.

The view of the beautiful ice ridge of Weissmies as seen from the peak of Lagginhorn.

That's the chimney pitch of the route... very nice, unless you're big. Pic taken by pietrorago.

Paolo75 jammed in the chimney because his helmet is too big ;-) Pic taken by pietrorago.

Paolo gave everything... his helmet, his panties, his shoes... seems he's still stuck tho... Pic taken by pietrorago.

That's the last move of the crux pitch of Via Beatrice. I was severely distracted by the scenery up there, it's just beautiful.

There are around 10 routes that go up this cliff. Very scenic and exposed.

When you get around the corner after the 2nd pitch, suddenly this tunnel opens up and provides a view to the cave on the other side of the cliff.

That's flipper_loves_rock on the only pitch of Beatrice that's really in the sun. We were glad getting past it ;-)
