Italy........ but NO PIZZA!



ROAD TRIP!! All loaded up in the van we headed through the Mt B tunnel to Italy. First stop was at La Thuile to climb at "Palestra Alpina" a loose rocked area with loads off rock fall and all in all pretty sketchy. So probably not recommended!
Palestra Hans Marguerettaz was stop 2! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Solid rock, nice lines and HUGE multipitches.
Day 2

1st stop Levergone, after you walk past the "crack den" look alike entrance it opens up into a nice little spot. Good rock with a variety of routes, big pockets, slab routes and even sum crimpy 8b's!
After a 2 hr detour looking for pizza we failed and went for a sandwhich instead!

La Ravoire was the final stop of the trip. High up on hill with some epic views down into the valley exposure can feel high. All pretty narly routes round the side. But some chilled climbing in the car park!
