Climbing in Sicily
Five editions in almost twenty years, they give an idea of the evolution that the world of climbing has had in Sicily. In particular, after the explosion of climbing earlier in Palermo and then in Trapani, in the area of San Vito lo Capo, here it is the turn of the eastern area, with Canicattini which is emerging as the third Sicilian hub. Lots of new features, not just for cliffs but also regarding the bouldering and the deep water only.
The increase also of long routes, brought the project to separation between crags and multipitches (volume that will be released following the one presented here) in two different volumes, as has already happened to many other important climbing areas covered in our series.
A vertical universe described in detail with dedication and passion, a valid instrument, beautiful and full-bodied, for moving easily among the rocks of the island.
