Versante Sud Endless Opening history of climbing

Endless Opening. The History of Roman Climbing by Emanuele Avolio narrates the evolution of rock climbing in Rome, immersing you in a cultural fresco made of tribes of climbers, lesser-known first ascents, and networks of techniques and visions; through a narrative that resembles an anthropological work in the form of a diary, the book explores how the learning and art of climbing have been passed down from generation to generation among urban and natural communities, offering a fascinating picture of Roman climbing over the last hundred years, told with historical rigor but with the liveliness of a 'popular' story that intertwines with the lives of the protagonists and their passions.
