Ascents in Valle Orco

Not entirely easy to protect: two rightwards sections are wide (6bd or more, a 6bd is highly recommanded). But overall the route is great, superb.

Via di continuità con tante tacche scavate

together with Sveltina as a2 pitch. Fra lead, Mtt seconded it

Mtt lead with 1 rest, then Fra on top rope

Super nice route! Quite physical at the roof, there is a short part where no fist or handjams are possible.

The start is quite a hard lay back.

Did not go to the top. Could not do the moves around the overhang. Also Dave could not do one move. Very hard or we die not figure out the right beta.

Really hard! I could not send this even with many tries

The beginning is hard and not super nice, the top plaisir climbing and very enjoyable

Beta figured out and then my fingers were bleeding. Real slab! Very important to use bad or non existing footholds and not step to high. Beta for me: At first crux at 4th bolt stay with left hand in undercling until left foot is in the middle good foothold under left hand, then move further into worse underclings. After moving all the way right: right hand up and left foot quite high to stand up. At second crux: both hands to undercling, left foot in the middle. Right foot very high on leftmost high foothold. Then go with left hand already to the ledge. Don't first stand up!
