Climbing and via ferratas in Campania and the surrounding areaThis book describes almost 60 climbing crags between the Amalfi Coast, Positano, Palinuro, the Cilento National Park and Maratea. In addition to the updated descriptions of climbing crags and classic routes, this fourth edition of "Malopasso" also includes a chapter on via ferratas in the region and in the Lucanian Apennines.On the Amalfi Coast, climbing often takes place in unknown and unusual places with characteristic stone houses, churches and monasteries, where the colors of the mountains blend with the blue of the sea. In the winter months, the villages here exude a very special flair and climbing becomes a doorway to getting to know these places, the people and their history.When you leave the winding roads, nature and cliffs of the Amalfi Coast behind and head towards the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park, the landscape changes radically. The walls of the Cilento have an advantage. The blue of the sea, the smells of the Mediterranean and the history and traditions of the people often mingle with the rocks. Only when seen from above can you better understand why this region triggers such strong emotions.496 pagesLanguage GermanEdition 2023O. BottiglieriVersante Sud

“Molise does not exist”, a motto which started circulating on internet some time ago, and has brought a bit of visibility to this little region, cut off from the main communication arteries, and thanks to this isolation has yet to be discovered. Its greatest charm lies in this isolation, which has allowed it to maintain man’s traditional work and artisanal activities in close contact with a territory consisting of two thirds hills and mountains. These are the secret components which have attracted the first Roman climbers here ever since the 80’s, the beauty and the magnificence of the limestone boulders of the crag of Morgia Quadra at Frosolone: this remains the most popular, renowned and appreciated crag of the region and of central-southern Italy. Near this point of reference over the years, many other climbing sites have developed all over the region. This is not a guide book describing all crags in the region, but rather a selection of these. A selection dictated by the beauty of these sites, by their historical, environmental value, and their bond with the surrounding territory, their accessibility; as well as the wish of the bolters (if the crag was mainly bolted by one person) to make their work public. 232 pages language italian edition 2020 P.
