Eagle crag, Grizedale

May 29, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Tuesday’s forecast shone like a beacon in an otherwise grim week, and Paul was full of his reliable enthusiasm to make the most of it. As the resident Lakes guru […]

Shooter’s Nab

May 21, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Back in Blighty, and the two compensations are Wednesday Evening Climbing and fine beer. Andy’s scheduled meet at Shooter’s Nab followed by beer at the Riverhead in Marsden fits the […]

Montbard – quirky Burgundy stopover

May 17, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

The power of the Internet threw up Montbard as a possible place to break the journey (well done camptocamp.org ). About 30km NW of Dijon, it’s France’s answer to Hobson […]

I Gumbi and Arivederchi to Oltre Finale

May 17, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Another overcast day and another trip to an excellent south facing crag. I Gumbi (not to be confused with the Yorkshire crag of Eh by Gumbi 🙂 ) is lower […]

Paretone

May 14, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Some welcome cloud cover brings the prospect of exploring some of the sunny crags above the village of Toirano in the Valle del Vero. Paretone is the middle crag in […]

In the next valley to the east  – Val Varatella above the village of Toirano, we head for sector La Cava. This is another unlikely venue, approached through old quarry […]

Sector Enoteca

May 14, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Another excellent crag with welcome shade. Only 20 odd routes but all excellent. Also its own walled pool – ideal to amuse the small creche worth of toddlers who’d been […]

Grotta dell’Edera

May 14, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

In need of a rest day we decided to explore the crags in Finale “proper”, though taking the gear just in case we got inspired. Another scorching day meant seeking […]

Reunion

May 13, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

The mists have cleared and we’re into full blown heatwave. Big blue skies and temperatures in the high 20s mean we’re seeking shade. A quick perusal of the guide suggested […]

Oltre Finale – Basau

May 13, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Sector Bausu above the village of Varevo has a mix of steep grey slabs and crimpy orange walls, with some fine arêtes and grooves for good measure. Of the dozen […]

Oltre Finale – Sector Terminal

May 10, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Speeding through mist across the “thigh” of Italy, we rejoin the coast at Genoa and then head onwards for Finale. Rather than the famous and historic crags of Finale Ligure […]

Stallavena

May 9, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Another well established Italian crag, this one is just north of Verona. It occupies a lofty position above the town, with great views somewhat marred by a large gravel shunting […]

Lumignano

May 9, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Just south of Padua is the “Italian Boux” or so the guidebook would have you believe. Lumignano is a pretty and rather prosperous little town surrounded by pockety limestone crags. […]

Napolenica

May 9, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Time to start heading gently north and towards home, so we had to say goodbye to Croatia (or Dovedanja which I think is more “until we see you again”). We’ll […]

Zadvarje

May 9, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Another crag within easy reach of Omis, at the top of the Cetina gorge. Nice drive, but to be honest the climbing wasn’t anything special. Maybe a jaundiced view as […]

Brela

May 6, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Pretty crag, about 20km south of Omis. 60m routes on steep grey walls, covered in hidden jugs. Not to mention breathtaking views over the Adriatic.

Dubrovnik

May 6, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

A damp day coincided with an overdue need for a rest, so a side trip to Dubrovnik fitted the bill. Gorgeous walled city with the compelling back story of recent […]

Omis climbing

May 1, 2015by Dominic Leave a comment

Enough about pirates – what about the climbing? Well, there’s loads of it, much of which is spread along the road which winds out of town up the Cetina gorge, […]
