Produktdetails

This is the definitive guidebook that covers all of the trad and sport climbing in the Orco Valley in the Gran Paradiso National Park in North West Italy. The Orco valley is situated to the north of Turin and west of Milan, and represents some of the best alpine rock climbing in the Western European Alps. The climbing ranges from the sport climbing found in the lower valley to the multi-pitch trad climbing on the epic big walls of Sergent, Caporal and the Torre di Aimonin, to the cliffs just below the Col de Nivolet.

All the routes are shown on a mixture of colour photo topos and clear hand drawn topos, along with a description. The guidebook covers many multi-pitch routes between 200m and 300m long, and for these routes it describes the type of protection to be found and what trad equipment is required (if any). At the start of each crag is a clear location map, approach details including QR codes for the parking. Symbols then indicate the altitude, orientation, approach time and if the crag has multi-pitch routes.
