Seven years have passed since the last guide and new routes have been born under the sky of the Brescia valleys; bolters old and new have brought to light hidden gems, which now shine for the joy of greedy rock-eaters. On the other hand almost twenty years have passed, and I still remember the first day, since I first put on the climbing shoes I had been given as a present and threw myself, with all my strength and zero technique, at the walls of this beautiful province. The scene of my first step was the rock of Iseo, which back then looked magical and beautiful, but which now makes me shudder. Watching my first teacher move on the route “Variante diedro” made me fall in love with the movement and with the power unleashed on those few centimetres of rock. Since then it has been a constant chase after new moves and new emotions. It is the search for a limit to overcome that pushes me more and more to explore new lines and new walls, the search for the perfect move, the urge to surpass myself, always. So here I am now updating this guide, which becomes part of the Book for Bolts project, in which Versante Sud and the Raumer company have joined forces to set aside a good amount of gear for making old routes safe and bolting new ones. In practice it is added to the various bolting funds, some of them well run, such as the now abandoned Progetto Falesie Lecchesi Sicure (Safe Lecco Crags Project) and the F.A.S.I. bolting fund, which aim to recognise the indispensable work done for us by the bolters. Part of the proceeds of this guide will go precisely into this fund, to keep increasing safety at the crags. Reports and requests for help in carrying out a bolting project can be sent to the phone number given in the section on general recommendations. |

was born in 1965. At the age of 24 he discovers the world of mountaineering thanks to some friends who take him onto faces and routes that were legendary for him, such as the North Face of the Adamello or the Buhl route on Cima Canali. After two years of classic mountaineering he watches a round of the Italian Sport Climbing Cup in Brescia and is literally captivated by the world of competitions. With competition now in his blood, he throws himself headlong into training methods and schedules, with results that are not always excellent. He manages to win a parallel speed competition at Buffalora (BS) but without ever getting into the top thirty athletes of the CNP. A few good placings, when the strong professionals are missing, but nothing important, even though he equips tailor-made training routes in the big cave at Iseo. He becomes a F.A.S.I. climbing instructor, founds Climbing C.A.I. Iseo, helps organise various courses and competitions in sport climbing, bouldering and the Climbing Marathon between the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia, and his passion for climbing leads him more and more often to take up drill and brushes to bolt and clean climbing routes. To his credit he has a hundred or so routes scattered here and there along the shores of Lake Iseo, including the Aladino sector at Predore, equipped with the Tonoli brothers. Having very much at heart the problems and the thousand difficulties of the bolters, who are denied permits and contributions for creating and fixing up new and old crags, and backed once again by brave collaborators, he founds the A.I.P.I.A. (Associazione Italiana Preparatori Itinerari d'Arrampicata, the Italian association of climbing route equippers), bringing together bolters from all over Italy under a single idea. Ideas and projects are now being worked on by the F.A.S.I. Crags Commission, of which he is a member. |
