Versante Sud Sella Rock climbing guidebook italian Cheap

Versante Sud SELLA rock is the climbing guidebook for 255 classic and sport routes in the Sella Group.

The Sella Group is simply enormous, with hundreds and hundreds of routes. Many routes have been opened over the years, some of which have now been forgotten or buried by new lines that grazed, crossed, or included the previous ones. More than one new modern route has definitively obliterated remnants of historical lines, most of which were unrepeated and of which practically no one remembered the existence.

A monograph could be written only on the famous Torri and Piz Ciavazes, but the Sella Group is not only Piz Ciavazes, and the immense wall of Sass Pordoi is there to remind us of this; then it is enough to turn the corner of Passo Sella to find oneself facing the shady walls of the northern slope, to pass under the imposing Cansla sport slabs, to look fearfully at the walls of Mesule, a no-spit zone par excellence. Shortly after, the Frea crag with its multipitches brings us back to a more relaxing atmosphere, but the walls of Sass dla Luesa bring us back to more classic mountaineering. A little further on, the immense walls of Pisciadù and Torre Brunico allow you to engage in classic and sporty routes of great class. In Colfosco, the Dark Face of the Moon now offers no less than 15 sport routes by the indefatigable Roly Galvagni, while the last corner of this rocky paradise visited in this guidebook concerns the walls around Vallon, in the vicinity of the Kostner Hut.

The focus is on the most interesting routes, paying more attention to the accuracy of the reports than to the number of routes presented. Obviously, we have not repeated all the existing routes, but we have made use of the first-hand collaboration of openers and repeaters in the hope of providing as accurate a product as possible.
