Wed 27th Sep 2023 - Discoteca
6b Disc jockey Sport 27m, 15 Good
Tricky slab crux

 
5c Il buttafuori Sport 26m Good
Nice juggy route

 
Tue 26th Sep 2023 - Acquafraggia
La Mezzera
6a La Capanna del Blondi Sport 12m Good
A v1 mantle start then spaced bolts, generally ok to get to except the one that protects the crux

 
Mon 25th Sep 2023 - Albigna
Spazzacaldeira
6b+ Buttamigiu
2 5c+ 35 Sport

Kind of did half of this in our confusion

3 6a+ 30 Sport

Hard moves getting to belay well above bolt.

4 6b+ 50 Second

Used a nice kneebar low, and found the hardest move up stepping off a small pinnacle.

5 4a 45 Sport

A route takes off directly above where you top out that would make a good link up

Sport 160m Very Good
Apart from route confusion which seems to afflict many people who start on Lascimili and end up on this, Pitches 3 and 4 were great. The bolting is weird, near good trad placements then run out. Route deserves more traffic. Best to walk off. The connecting cord at anchors is very tatty and needs replacing-Especially getting to top of pitch 3 where it appears some people aid on the long bit of rope hanging down. A single set of cams 0.3 to #2 helpful.

 
Sat 23rd Sep 2023 - Cranna
Lower Sector
6b+ Passaggio Chiave P1
1 6b+ 20 Sport

Nice climbing. We came to the crag because its rain sheltered, but it was a Saturday and half of chiavenna seemed to join us, then the sun came out and the temps went up 10 degrees. It was time to leave.

Sport 20m Very Good
6a Pergola Sport 10m Very Good
Nice route, anchors at full stretch though.

 
Wed 20th Sep 2023 - Vho
Superleo
6b+ Cappuccino Sport 30m Good
On of the drier routes today ( first pitch) , and unlike the 10m boulder climb, Fipanza we found this one pretty easy

 
Tue 19th Sep 2023 - Arrampicodromo Di Mese
Parking
6a+ Assessore Sport 25m Good
Probably my favourite. A couple of tricky spots.

 
Sun 17th Sep 2023 - Sottosassa
6a Diedro Gabrielli Sport 20m Good
The bottom half was quite good, then a few mantles.

 
6a+ I bocce del paes Sport 17m
Ok, but not sure what was “ in” so did bridge into crack on opposite wall

 
Fri 15th Sep 2023 - Höhlensteintal
Landro Settore 4
6a ~6a Gamaze Sport 15m Good
Quite easier, and far easier than route to left.

 
6a+ ~6b Baum Sport 15m Very Good
Way harder than the 6 a+ to the right, which I have take liberty of down grading while upgrading this- took me about 10 minutes to commit to standing up off the ledge.

 
6b ~6b+ Sandmännchen Sport 32m Good
I thought I was on the 6c, and it didn’t feel that far off.

 
6b Hexentanz P1
1 6b 8m Sport

Too close to route to left making it escapable at crux (contrived direct, and hard for 6 b) but I did it both ways to cover the bases.

Sport 8m
6a Kinderspiel
1 5b 8m Sport
2 6a 9m Sport

Unfortunately the bolt matrix on this wall detracts from the climbing, I followed this middle pitch

Sport 17m
Fri 15th Sep 2023 - Höhlensteintal
Landro Settore 3
5b Nigge-Riss Sport 24m Good
Ok, but always sad to see a bolted crack.

 
6b+ ~6b Nigge-Kante Sport 24m Good
I think it’s even soft for 6b, compared to other routes here.

 
Tue 12th Sep 2023 - Sass Dlacia
A
6b Placca motoria Sport 20m Very Good
Our start to Chernobyl. A good warm up due to some nice rest stances between the pocket pulling.

 
6b+ Chernobyl
1 5c 28 Sport

Did PM instead then continued up past final bolt of this to belay

2 6a+ 30 Second

Go straight up to roof past 2 bolts then hand traverse right under roof ( rock fax topo quite poor for route)

3 6a+ 29 Sport

After exiting the short chimney at the second bolt I missed the next 2 bolts which were off to the right and got back to one above them, exciting! Thought this pitch was also 6 b

4 6b 30 Second

More nice climbing on some old bolts

5 6b+ 23 Sport

Fantastic steep finale.

Sport 140m Classic
Started on PM as first pitch. Liked all the pitches. Would have done more routes here but sun had hit has by the time we abseiled. 60 m rope needed minimum.

 
Sun 10th Sep 2023 - Parte Oscura della Luna
6a+ Indian Summer
1 6a 40m Second

We started on first bolt of Legoland then joined Indian summer. Quite cold at the start.

2 6a 40m Sport
3 6a 30m Second

I liked this pitch the best, straight up on amazing pockets

4 5c 30m Sport

Didn’t feel any easier than the rest of the route.

5 6a+ 20m Second

You traverse right off the belay for about 4m, topo implied otherwise

6 6a+ 20m Sport

Quite a steep crack, some good moves.

7 6a 20m Second

The corner crack

Sport 200m Very Good
Pretty nice route, especially for a hot day. Seems like Rockfax digital is out of date for access and descent. The descent to the left has a washed away gully after a downclimb to contend with, but I guess we got to go canyoning as well as climb.

Pleasant and fairly low stress outing on a hot day getting used to altitude and embracing life whilst Preserving knees. Well conceived route, reasonably bolted. Linked 2 and 3 and 4 and 5.

 
Thu 7th Sep 2023 - Comano Terme
6a+ ~6b Dritdreiciodi Sport 16m Good
Grade 20 I reckon, unless you Mc Dougall right badly. A bit polished

Finished our 2.5 L water by the top

Sport 250m Very Good
Very hot, we tried to create a breeze by climbing fast, about 3 hours. Linked 1+2, 3+4, 6+7. May the memory of the FA live on.

 
Tue 5th Sep 2023 - La Falesia Dimenticata
5c Pestacolo Sport 20m, 11 Good
Nice enough, getting used to the rock. 3 pm too early for shade, improved at 4.

 
Mon 4th Sep 2023 - Brenta Alta
Crag Raffael and Natalie Vidi
6b Brigot Sport 26m Very Good
The rock is a bit ordinary down low, but excellent movement, varied climb, technical in places and pumpy start. Generally overhanging.

 
Sat 2nd Sep 2023 - Val d'Algone
6c Lo scorpione Sport 20m Very Good
Nice varied and technical route, no real sting in the tail, but a few of cruxy sequences below

 
6b+ Il nido de ragno Sport 25m Very Good
Nice varied route, a little bit of dodgy rock up top

 
Thu 31st Aug 2023 - Breguzzo
6a+ Prenzip Sport 18m Good
Some nice pockets, but just too many ways to go

 
6c Bagoi Sport 25m Very Good
The Sandinista of Breguzzo, about 5m overhanging. My crack glove tried to reject doing a sports route, I got spiders down my t shirt and there was some type of poo in some of the pockets. Great journey!

 
Wed 30th Aug 2023 - Croz de le Niere

5b Il pigro Sport 20m Good
Pleasant, about grade 17

 
Fri 25th Aug 2023 - Ishoel
Litjhælvet
6- ~6 Trollfeit Sport 12m Very Good
Fun route out over the water, felt like 19, so may just be a conversion factor issue with thecrag

 
6+ Nådeløs som Cola Sport 12m
6+ Kongla Sport 12m Good
Routes squeezed in a bit, but it was a good work out

 
5+ Action Direct Sport 12m Good
Quite a pumpy introduction

Hanshallaren Hans
6b ~6a+ Trykkokeren Sport 17m Good
Compared to some of the other routes more 6a territory

 
5c Limpa Sport 20m Average
Several flakes with x on them, able to climb around but needs proper cleaning

 
Tue 22nd Aug 2023 - Flatanger
Sandmælen Midtre
6a+ I siget Sport 38m, 14 Very Good
The start was a bit wet and awkward, improved after that, nice flake and route harder than the corner to left

 
Tue 22nd Aug 2023 - Flatanger
Sandmælen Venstre
6b+ Come back Sport 16m, 6 Average
The climbing didn’t really flow, largely due to bolt position.

 
6a ~6a+ Posible nick Sport 18m, 6 Very Good
Without a triple rack to weigh me down I should have floated up this but it had me puffing.

 
Wed 16th Aug 2023 - Lofoten

Really nice climbing as well, with a very funky hold.

Presuming this is the rebolted ex trad route left of Jeppenruta. Not too hard.

 
Sun 6th Aug 2023 - Himmeldalen

6+ Hulken Sport 9m Very Good
Best route of the day, felt twice as long due to right to left and back movement throughout. Pleased with the OS, it kept me fighting.

Senja Ørnfjord
5+ Hilda Sport 54m Good
Had to get the final route in before we left. Small climbing world, ran into expat kiwi Rick Macgregor, responsible for many fine Kiwi and Australian FAs. Unfortunately the route has a couple of chips. The crag was the ultimate in consumer climbing, not something to emulate back home.

Not that memorable. An ok warm up

 
7a Un Bon Passage Sport 32m Classic
Almost Blueys feeling, crimps, side pulls and some glue. Climbed up and down at the lower crux about 6 times working out the reachy sequence ( dave didn’t even notice this) and got the top crux well, quite exciting.
