All climbs

As for Bélial but finishing right with the rib.

Bellavista pushed multi-pitch climbing in the Dolomites to new levels of difficulty via some wildly overhanging territory. The route tackles the enormous roofs of Cime Ovest overhanging some 60m over its 283m length. Lead protection comes primarily from pegs and some trad gear. Alexander Huber spent 5 weeks working the route prior to making the first ascent, describing it as “by far the wildest route on an alpine face”. [2]

In 2014 Huber suggested that holds on the crux pitch were better than when he made the first ascent:

... the crux pitch was heavily manipulated. There are many crystallized fossils in the dolomite rock of Tre Cime and if you work hard, you can break out many of these. Then remains a pocket or hole which looks basically natural. But for cleaning a toothbrush is definitely not enough: you need hammer and chisel. In the former crux traverse in the middle of the pitch you had to crimp thin edges where you find now big pockets, some of more than 10 centimeters in diameter. The character is heavily changed even though it remains to be a great and fantastic climb. The grading is somewhere in between 8b and 8b+. [1]

First bolted by Ethan Pringle who quickly abandoned it as too hard for him. It took Alex Megos a lot of effort over multiple years to finally make the first ascent. Initially proposed at 9c it later settled at 9b+ after a relatively quick repeat by Stefano Ghisolfi.

A 1988 test piece, the line and method is quite strict, with many an aspirant taking the tick, then finding they have actually done the easier variant Fucking Golden.

Named after a big hold in the middle of the problem.

Named after a large fish-shaped feature in the middle of the problem.

the name spotted on the destination board of a bus in Chester as they returned home which fitted well with the tone of the adjacent routes Cenotaph Corner and Ivy Sepulchre.

The route has suffered various breaks. It started off at 8c, then was around 8b+ when Dave Macleod made his solo ascent in 2008 but had gone back up to 8c by the time Jorge Díaz-Rullo made his solo ascent in 2021.
