Topo guide to climbing in the Sarca Valley (just south of the Brenta Dolomites and north of Arco, in the north-east of Italy.
This is an area of fantastic looking multi-pitch wall climbs at all grades, some bolted and some trad, and could easily be added in to a Dolomitic or Arco itinerary.
The remarkable expansion of this area, which today ranges from the shores of Lake Garda all the way to the Valle dei Laghi: 23 new sectors for a total of 260 unpublished routes, which added to the 520 routes already present in the last edition makes a total of 780, spread around approximately 33 sectors, has resulted in this guide now being split into two volumes.
Volume 2 covers friendly and reassuring Placche Zebrate, there are rock faces which loom over the valley near Sarche and Pietramurata and which continue towards the Valley dei Laghi, where the latest developments are still evolving: plus possibilities on the walls of Fraveggio, as on the walls of the Limarò€ canyon which have still got a lot of potential!
The guide is full of precise drawings by the author, completely updated for the occasion, as well as accurate historical and logistical notes and a complete evaluation on the beauty and difficulty of the route. Also there are short essays on climbing on the rock faces of the Sarca Valley.
