Bouldering topos for Sardinia
November 05, 2009, 02:03:54 pm
Beyond Pietra di Luna, and the hand-written one for Serra Oseli which I have, you can find several topos for the SE of the island (around SS 125) and one for Capo Testa at http://www.pietradiluna.com/blog/images/topos/topos_arch.html

My mats and I am going to Rio Cannas on Saturday. I often drive past it on the way to Cagliari but have never climbed there, it looks v nice and is only 1:15 to drive.

I made a vid to show what Rio Cannas is like
Super smooth water-washed granite on most of the boulders which are like giant eggs, quite unusual and interesting climbing. As a place, though, Serra Oseli is nicer. In the vid at 2:14 you can here the motorbikes tearing up the SS125 and the mats felt useful walking back up the road in case one of these blokes lost it on the bend as they raced back to Cagliari...

Encouraged by Martin and Judith with whom I went to Serra Oseli on Saturday - they said, "here is definitely as good as Stanage Plantation" - and also since I managed yesterday the 6B+ slab of Futurama, I have made a proper topo. Here it is

If anyone wants to go, contact me and I'd be happy to come along and/or I can send you the updated file of grades (currently in Italian, but easy to understand).
