Versante Sud Sardegna Est Falesie climbing guide

Versante Sud Sardegna Est Falesie climbing guide:

The eastern part of Sardinia has been known for years for the quantity and quality of the rock. But especially in the last ten years, there has been an impressive growth in the number of climbing areas, particularly in Ogliastra.

At the same time, the re-bolting and renewed attention to the “classic” sectors by various authors is helping to make the island one of the most sought-after and interesting destinations in the Mediterranean basin in terms of sport climbing, as well as the beauty of the places and the rock.

Richard Felderer, born in Monza in 1970, has always been called Riky by everyone since he can remember. In 1987, he discovered climbing thanks to the Monza gym of Rondò dei Pini, where an exuberant Eugenio Podio had glued holds to the wall, creating one of the first indoor climbing gyms in Italy. Shortly after, he bought equipment with a friend and began to explore the vertical world, a passion that radically changed his life. In fact, his work as a photographer and journalist almost immediately developed in the field of outdoor sports and, in the last twenty years, mainly in vertical sports. Work and passion allow him to live the mountains intensely and, in addition to some awards and honors, he became part of the Ragni di Lecco. He has collaborated and still works with the most important magazines and companies in the sector, as well as with Versante Sud for over twenty years now. In 2016, he left Milan with his partner and moved to Sardinia, to Lotzorai, where he manages a bed and breakfast. Apart from regularly climbing with local friends and taking photos, he dedicates himself to bolting climbing areas and long routes. The product is available in Italian.
