Climbing guide VAL di MELLO 2023 german version

Among the Alpine valleys, Val di Mello has no comparison. Above sheer walls, below a calm flat valley floor crossed by the blue-green waters of the river. It is a mythical place in the geography of climbing, where in the 1970s a group of guys knew how to reinvent climbing, drawing routes on boltable walls, immersed in a powerful and monumental nature.

This is also discussed in this guide. A wide-ranging monographic work, where each itinerary should appear with its own character and strength, from those of the pioneers to the latest achievements. We have had written contributions from some of these explorers, first-hand testimonies of a legendary epic that marked a historical period and revolutionized the way of conceiving and practicing mountaineering; this is in fact the cradle of Italian free climbing.

Following the stories of Masa, Merizzi, Miotti and Boscacci is like breathing the light and edgy air of those years. But above all it is going back to where it all began, to the courage and imagination that had no desire to go to power, but which was able to literate the generations that came after. So read to understand and rediscover a world of stone of unsurpassed quality”.
