Nichts Als Granit Band 2

<p>"Nothing but Granite Volume 2" takes you into the interior of the massif, up into the deep side valleys that branch off from the valleys in Bergell and around Chiavenna. The second edition is published eight years after the first edition and has been expanded to include two valleys - the Val del Forno and the Val Schiesone, both of which are somewhat remote but still very interesting. In addition, the descriptive section has been made more detailed, especially with regard to approaches, descents and the course of the routes. All drawings have been revised and large-format panoramic photos have been added. Many new features await the climber, from the climbing gardens at the Forno, Sciora and Sasc Furä huts to the fantastic modern routes on the Spazzacaldera, Badile and Ferro da Stiro - just to name a few. This area has always been a destination for generations of alpinists, from the beginnings of alpinism to the present day. Famous and celebrated walls and ridges - such as the classic north-east of the Badile - have seen climbers from all over the world pass by, but more remote walls such as the north-west of the Sfinge or the somewhat gloomy Pizzo di Prata have also found their enthusiasts. All that remains is the agony of choice between an almost infinite number of routes that promise plenty of climbing fun and fantastic rock in this vertical paradise.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">About the author:&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Mario Sertori has been a mountain guide since 1991.
