Corsica is a increasingly popular area for rock climbing, with a backdrop of superb natural landscapes within which climbers of all levels, ambitions and desires will find and fulfil their climbing dreams!Selected from the hundreds of known, documented multi-pitch routes located on the island’s crags and cliffs, this guidebook describes 155 routes of all levels, from pure trad to fully-bolted and everything in between. They are scattered across all massifs in Corsica except Bavella, for which a specific topo guide has been created (See the Bavella-Corsica guidebook).This extensive geographical coverage allows wandering climbers to go in search of varied climbing styles, surroundings and fun, and for climbers based in a specific location to find suitable muti-pitch routes close at hand.Of course the guidebook features the key, famous routes, but also contains newly-established routes and rediscovered gems.Our aim has been to give as reliable and precise information as possible for each route.
