This comprehensive guidebook describes all the single pitch sport routes on the island of Corsica, along with a few selected bolted multi-pitch routes and some bouldering.  The multi-pitch routes covered are at places such as Gorges de la Restonica near Corti and Col de la Tana in the Taravu valley near Aiacciu.  Whilst the bouldering covered is at Valdu di Saltu in the Taravu valley.
