Versante Sud Umbria Rock climbing guide* Crag|Crag And Sport Climbing Guidebooks

Versante Sud UMBRIA Rock constitutes the first guidebook collecting all climbing crags in Umbria and its immediate vicinity. Those who want to climb in this region will find several proposals, new or completely updated. The crags are mainly winter, in any case it is possible to climb in all seasons. All in all, UMBRIA Rock is a comprehensive guide, the result of the fieldwork of the authors and a handful of friends who want to offer a tool for the popularization of sport climbing also in this corner of Italy.

For a long time, Umbria was known only as the “green heart” of Italy. Today this is no longer the case because, thanks to the work carried out by the authors, often personally involved in bolting several of the crags presented here, it is possible to try very different styles of climbing. They range from Ferentillo overhangs to slabs, which make up the numerically predominant part; all in a relatively small area.

UMBRIA Rock is meant to be a useful climbing book for those who come to this region for a weekend, but also for those who live here year-round. On the other hand, climbing in Umbria is very enjoyable because the crags are often set in environments that are a combination of historic places, food and wine routes and lonely valleys.
