Redazione 01/04/2009 Reads: 1

{youtube}0GvhAQtSwJs{/youtube} In the Versante Sud publishing programme, 2009 brought the revised edition of the guidebook to the crags and modern climbing routes of the Valli Bergamasche. The authors examine four main areas: Val Imagna, Val Brembana, Val Seriana and Lago d'Iseo, for a total of no fewer than 51 crags. For each of these they have listed the many routes already known to climbers and added the most recently opened ones.

Cover of the book Valli Bergamasche, falesie e vie moderne, Edizioni Versante Sud

Each fact sheet comes with plenty of information:
  • the key with the symbols for the crag's main features;
  • an extensive description with geographical, historical and geological notes on the area;
  • technical information on the main lines of ascent;
  • necessary gear;
  • access routes;
  • list of routes with their names and grades;
  • an intuitive drawing of the crag's profile;


The information on the state of the bolting has been updated. The information on access, bases and huts has been renewed.

An excellent publication that took skill, knowledge of the subject, sweat and toil to produce. No fewer than 340 pages of technical information for anyone who wants to climb in the Bergamo area, bearing in mind that, as its authors say: this book is a varied offering able to satisfy everyone's needs: from lovers of the comfortable single pitch, by the roadside, to fans of the big walls, awkward and far from the valley floor...
