VALLI BERGAMASCHE Falesie/KlettergärtenVal Seriana, Val Brembana, Val di Scalve, Lake IseoFourth edition of the only complete guide book of the valleys of Bergamo, work which has its roots dating back to 1996, when with Bruno Tassi “Camos” the founders of this publishing house wrote their first book: “Modern and sports climbing between Bergamo and Brescia”. The frenetic growth of crags in the Orobie mountains has forced them to write a book dedicated only to the territory surrounding Bergamo and now, reaching its fifth edition, the split between crags and trad routes has occurred: this volume is entirely dedicated to sports climbing, which is becoming by far the most popular sport practised in the outdoor world.The Valleys of Bergamo offer multiple opportunities for climbing which are ideal for everyone: there are places which are very easy to reach and ideal for families and children, to walls with approach walks which turn into a small adventure. It is possible to choose an easy single pitch route covered in bolts or more difficult routes; from walls on the side of a road to those which are hidden and far away but never busy. In this volume there are thousands of pitches described because a new generation of climbers which loves discovering new crags and bolting new lines has got to work. This heteregenous galaxy of people and groups has further expanded and the work it has brought forward in these years is immense: re-bolting some old crags, discovering new ones, equipping dozens of sectors, opening new routes.The work gathered together in this guidebook is therefore a group effort of all the bolters and route setters in the Bergamo area, who share a common passion for climbing and which has made them invest their free time and energy to enhance the valleys by bringing new routes. Many individuals but also many groups belonging to the territory, such as I Camosci who have been supporting climbing for years in Val Brembana, the popular group Climberg which operates in the lower Val Seriana, Le Lucertole from Brembilla active on Monte Corno, the Sercafalie with their fantastic rediscovery of Valle di Scalce. Finally the youngsters of Nasolino and Valle dei Mulini, della Corna Rossa di Bratto, the bolters of Alme’ and the guys of Roncobello.464 pageslanguage italian / with german translationsedition 2022Y.

Aemilia - Sport climbing and bouldering in the province of Piacenza.The climbing guide has almost doubled in size since its first edition in 2001. There are now many more bouldering routes in the guide. In addition, there are many single-rope and multi-pitch routes, spread throughout the province of Piacenza. The new edition of the climbing guide is unfortunately only available in Italian. But because of the typical Versante Sud style / layout, you can get through the guide quite well without knowing the language, extracting the climbing essence.Pages 304Language ItalianEditon 2019 E.

Climbing gardens between Lake Garda, Monte Baldo, Adige Valley, Valpolicella, Valpantena and Monti Lessini.VERONA ROCK climbing gardens was born from the climbing guide MONTE BALDO Rock. Imbued with the desire to accomplish what the previous authors had tried in vain, Giovanni Avesani, Massimo Bursi, Fabio De Marchi, Claudio Migliorini, Diego Perotti, Giuseppe Vidali and Nicola Zorzi benefited from the energetic idealistic support of many active developers and climbers. Thanks to these synergies, a comprehensive guide to the sport climbing opportunities in the Verona region has finally been realized.VERONA ROCK climbing is therefore not only a complete and clear description of all the most famous sites such as the historic Ceredo and Sengio Rosso, but also important new areas that were less known or exclusively climbed by local climbers. Very suggestive nature such as the Adige Gorge or the Lessini Mountains next to the Small Dolomites frame a great variety of walls, ranging from sloping slabs to strong overhangs.The best time for climbing is undoubtedly the mid-season, but the abundance of walls with favorable exposures allows climbing all year round.320 pages Language GermanEdition 2023Versante Sud

Behind Bergamo, the Brembana Valley, the Seriana Valley and the distant Scalve Valley deeply affect the pre-Alpine reliefs that rise from the plain until they end against the Orobie chain. Mountains and valleys gathered in the wide embrace formed by the Larian lake and the deep furrows of Valtellina and Valle Camonica.Among these valleys there is a varied environmental heritage of unexpected beauty, among which stand out peaks and walls on whose rocks interesting pages of mountaineering history have been written. The undisputed queen of the entire chain is the Presolana, not a simple mountain, but an articulated and complex massif, a long bastion that rises between the Seriana Valley and the Scalve Valley, whose profile, marked by the succession of its five peaks , is easily recognizable from every perspective you look at it. We dedicate a true monograph to its lunar limestone walls, its over 250 routes and its rich mountaineering history, in which you will find not only the technical reports, accompanied by clear and precise routes and drawings, but also the stories of the first climbers and repeaters as well as the reproduction of precious historical archive materials, all enriched by numerous photographs to complete the story of the Queen of the Orobie.The book is published only in Italian.672 pageslanguage italianedition 2024M Panseri, M.

VALLI BRESCIANE Falesie/Climbing gardensThe province of Brescia has a lot to offer in terms of rocks and nature: the Adamello with its large granite blocks, the limestone and dolomite walls in the south and center, three lakes, four valleys and an infinite number of small and large walls.Despite this - perhaps because of the vastness of the area, perhaps also because of the rather secretive Brescians, who say little about themselves - little is known today about the climbing walls of the mountains in the Camuno, Trompia, Sabbia and Garda valleys. Although Brescia was one of the areas where the free climbing revolution first emerged in Italy in the 1980s (Monte Maddalena and the Cava di Virle are home to some of the first free climbing 8a routes in Italy), many climbing gardens in the province are almost exclusively run by locals.The only exception is the Valle dell'Opol on Lake Iseo, which attracts climbing fans from all over Europe. However, the other climbing gardens in the province also impress with their interesting routes and fantastic ambience, even if they are now only populated by local climbers, lizards, birds of prey and dormice.This guide - unfortunately not yet all-inclusive - is an invitation to explore the mountains of Brescia and their walls, because behind the industry of the valley floor are hidden fantastic natural landscapes and crags that have a lot to offer for beginners and experts alike.560 pagesLanguage Italian / with partial German translationEdition 2023S.
