Alpine Logistics

For us there’s no better place to spend Easter than Sardinia. At this time of year its warm but not too hot, there are no tourists and the landscape is green and yellow with the colours of spring right upto the edge of the sea.

The quantity, quality and variety of limestone on the island is quite astounding. From crags to long mutlipitch routes, cliffs and beaches to mountains and gorges there’s no danger of running out of things to do. New routes are regularly put up both by local climbers and others from the mainland.

We’re leaving this afternoon for a three week trip to the island and although we won’t be online everyday we will certainly be posting regular updates of what we’re up to with some photos.

We’re planning to start with some cragging at Isili before moving north to Cala Gonone. Here we want to experiment some of the new routes which have been opened along the coast since our last visit. Also on the list is gole di Gorroppu…a spectacular gorge stretching for kilometeres which is renowned for long climbs on beautiful compact rock and airy bolting! If we have time we also plan to go to Jertzu. A vast crag with hundreds of routes on vertical crimpy walls.

 Happy Easter!
