Historic Winter Solos in the Dolomites
A short film documenting some of Simon Gietl's bold winter solo rock climbs up famous peaks
During the winter of 2020, Simon Gietl completed the first solo winter traverse of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. In 2021 he climbed the Pilastro di Mezzo, Mariacher variant on Sass dla Crusc, and then, in 2022 the Rosengarten traverse. In 2023 he concluded with the Odle traverse. Always in winter. Always alone.
This short video provides an insight into what it takes to accomplish such bold solo winter ascents.
