Toirano Rock Climbing Guidebook

Description

Toirano Rock is a selective guidebook covering the climbing in the Varatella and Nimbalto valleys around Toirano, near the town of Albenga.  Toirano is a quiet village situated halfway between the famous cliffs of Finale Ligure and the Val Pennavaire.

This guidebook covers 32 different crags and describes around 1,400 routes, with many of these in the F5a to F6c grade range.  Most of these routes are single pitch, but there are a few longer multi-pitch routes up to 200m long.

The entire area is a true climber’s paradise in a wild and unspoiled natural environment with Dolomite characteristics, yet with a Mediterranean climate and sea views.  The routes offer different styles, on different types of rock, from limestone to dolomite to quartzite, making the climbing particularly varied and interesting.

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, map, and QR code for the parking area.  Symbols indicate how well the route is bolted, altitude, how popular the crag is, how good the parking is, orientation of the crag showing when it is in the sun, altitude, approach time, and if the crag is child friendly.  Finally, there is a table showing the total number of routes at each grade.
