Pale di San Martino

Heinz Grill is one of the most known climbers in the German-speaking mountaineering community, not so much for of his sports performances, but rather for his personal conception of climbing: he has always looked for the aesthetic pleasure underlying the bodily gesture and the interaction with the surrounding environment.In this book, together with his great friend and climbing partner Florian Kluckner, Heinz presents a selection of the best routes that they established in the Dolomites, providing readers with useful practical information for the repetition of these routes, but also guiding them to the discovery of the highest “spiritual” treasures of these climbs.Moreover, the routes are enriched with the accounts of the ascents, written by the authors or by their climbing partners, some of which are very famous also in Italy, such as Ivo Rabanser for example. Photos and drawings, all made by the establishers, ensure the best quality, also concerning the technical description of the itineraries, all of which present long developments and mountaineering difficulties between the V and the VII grade (UIAA).432 pageslanguage germanedition 2023H.
