Adam Ondra introduces little-known areas around Arco

Adam Ondra is an ambassador for the Garda Trentino tourist region. Accordingly, it is not surprising that in the latest episode of his video series he introduces some climbing gardens around Arco.

Usually you hear about Adam Ondra numbers like 9a, 9b in the sport climbing area and 8b or 8c in the bouldering area. In this Video he presents areas for once in which he gets little money.

For example, the climbing garden Falesia dimenticata, who offers climbers many easy routes and is ideal for families thanks to the approach and foot of the wall.

However, even found on the Falesia Dimenticata Adam a, well, rather small, challenge. He made the only difficult route in the area, an 8a +. The route was considered a project, but then Adam learned that the famous Italian climber “Manolo” had already climbed it redpoint.
