climbing guidebook Salty Routes

Climbing from the Ligurian hinterland to the Côte d'Azur
77 CLIMBING GARDENS - Val Tanaro, Valle Argentina, Valle Roja, Menton and La Turbie

An area not far from the Côte d'Azur hides limestone walls of outstanding quality. This guide reveals all the secrets of the verticals in western Liguria and the part on French soil that stretches from the border via La Turbie and the valleys to the gates of Nice. Hidden here are areas where climbing history was written and hidden treasures that are unknown to the masses. Like a local, you will move between the coast and the hinterland, finding the rock with the best orientation depending on the season.

Salty Routes explores the “dark side” of Liguria: an area where a multitude of new climbing gardens and challenging routes have been created over the years, which deserve to be described in detail, complemented by descriptions of the most beautiful routes.
