Versante Sud Camós climbing novel

Camós by Lorenzo Tassi, with a preface by Simone Moro, tells the restless and brilliant life of Bruno “Camós” Tassi, a cult figure of Italian free climbing in the 1980s: the author – a teacher and passionate about the Bergamasque mountains – accurately and heartfeltly reconstructs the feats on cliffs like that of Cornalba, where Camós forged his revolutionary style, and highlights the edgy, rock’n’roll, and deeply human character of his protagonist, amidst alcohol and reckless car races but also poetic reflections on nature and freedom; the volume, enriched by testimonies from those who knew him and marked ten years after his passing, paints an intimate and authentic portrait of a man who sculpted the rock and the imagination of climbing, between passion, excesses, and an extraordinary legacy that still resonates in the routes he opened.
