Climbing Area

A 4km line of limestone cliffs in the North West of Sicily, San Vito lo Capo offers something for everyone  with climbing in all grades. There are thousands of routes, all well bolted, mostly up to 30m in length, although there are a few longer pitches, and some multi pitch routes in the surrounding area. 

San Vito is a beautiful area with limestone pavements, sandy beaches and some mountain walks in the nearby hills and Zigora National Park.

A small friendly crag right next to the harbour. Well worth a visit.

Sardinia is a beautiful island, with a climate and diet that lends itself to having one of the longest life expectancies, and the biggest proportion of centenarians in the world. It has a bit of everything. it is mountainous, rising straight out of the sea to its highest point at  Punta La Marmora  at 1,834 m. Couple this with nearly 1800 km of coastline, much of it beautiful beaches, it is easy to see how the island is something of a paradise.

Crag

A huge crag just round the corner from Ulassai. The routes are of excellent quality, and set in a beautiful location. Although it is 100m high, at present it has been bolted for single pitch routes, many of which require an 80m rope. ALWAYS TIE A KNOT IN THE END OF YOUR ROPE. Note that because the crag is relatively new, not all the grades have "settled down" yet, treat with caution.
