Description
Crack climbing is quite rare in Europe ✌ Yosemite or Utah is the true crack climbers' paradise. On the other hand, there is a valley in Europe that is nicknamed the European Yosemite ☝, and that is Valle dell'Orco in Piedmont, Italy. I had never been before and I could not wait to finally see it. I had a local legend, Andrea Giorda, show us around, who was putting up some of the crack test pieces in the '70s and '80s. But the main goal of the trip was clear: Greenspit. Amazing, STEEP hand crack first ascended by Didier Berthod more than 2 decades ago. I had Marcello Bombardi to show me the beta and I really wanted to give it a good flash go ✊
