Lario Rock, Falesie – Lecco, Como and Valsassina Sport Climbing Guidebook

Description

Lario Rock Falesie is the definitive guidebook that covers all the sport climbing on crags and walls situated around Lecco and Como.  It includes the Grigne Massif, Resegone, Valsassina, crags of Lecco, Upper Eastern Lario, Triangolo Lariano, and the western shore of the Lake.

This guidebook details 122 separate crags and many 1,000’s of routes at all grades.  The majority of the routes are single pitch along though many bolted multi-pitch routes are also included.  The mild weather, mitigated by Lake Como, the relative low altitude and the abundance of limestone walls make this area one of the most popular climbing areas in northern Italy.

All the routes are described on clear colour topos with French grades used throughout along with the route length.  At the start of each crag, is a location map plus QR codes for the parking areas.  Further information is provided regarding orientation of the crag and hence exposure to the sun, altitude, approach time, the condition of the bolts, the overall beauty of the crag, how good the parking is, how popular it is, and if it is child friendly.  A table is also provided showing the number of routes at each grade.

Published in May 2023 this guidebook is in Italian text throughout, but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols.  Each guidebook has a unique code allows you to download an app of the guidebook for both iOS and Android devices.
