New climbing guide: multi-pitch climbing in Arco

In the winter and spring months, some are drawn to the snow-capped mountains, others to the southern climbing and bouldering areas. A very popular destination is Arco. The northern Italian city and its rocks are known above all for sport climbing. From now on there is also a climbing guide for multi-pitch tours.

Visitors can choose between plaisir-moderately secured tours in all levels of difficulty on the best Garda lime. The first edition of the Vertical-Life climbing guide "Multic-pitch climbing in Arco" is a clear selection guide with Plaisir routes covering a range of difficulty levels from 4a to 7c. All tours were climbed by the authors Rebecca Finch and Georg Hueber. In the selection, the focus was on protection, rock quality, homogeneity and route, ie as little walking terrain, crossings and zig-zag lines.

Short approach - exciting climbing tours

The guidebook contains detailed topos and spectacular climbing pictures made by the authors themselves. Due to the short climbs and the mild climate, this guide offers exciting tours for the whole year in Arco and the surrounding area as well as in the Sarca Valley.
