PennaValley Rock Climbing Guidebook

Description

PennaValley is the comprehensive guidebook covering 71 sport climbing crags in Val Pennavaire and Val Neva, in northwest Italy.  The crags not far from Finale Ligure in an unspoilt and peaceful valley, covered in cherry trees, olive groves, mushrooms and truffles.  As well as being away from the crowds, the climbing and crags are splendid.  The climbing is modern, consisting of long and sustained pitches, and well bolted, due to the recent discovery of this area vertically speaking.

The area is extensive starting in the lower valley area of Castelbianco, among which Terminale and Erboristeria are the largest crags, to many gems in the upper valley, based around the hamlet of Alto.  The guidebook covers 1,000’s of routes across a wide range of grades.

All the routes are illustrated on clear colour topos along with a short description as appropriate. At the start of each crag there is an introduction giving a general description of the crag, detailed approach information, total number of routes at each grade, how well the route is bolted, altitude, how popular the crag is, how good the parking is, and orientation of the crag showing when it is in the sun. QR codes are provide detailing the GPS co-ordinates for the parking areas, plus GPS co-ordinates of the crag.
