Arco – a climbing mecca
136 Crags / 7 Regions / 5260 Routes
Since the nineties, Arco has been the climbing mecca of Italy. Initially, mainly featureless rocks were sought out, but over time, many new climbing sectors emerged everywhere on the surrounding rocks. Thanks to the nearby Lake Garda, climbing is possible in the summer and in the winter, although the number of summer climbing crags is limited. This is why we at Viva la climbing have limit our self to climbs in the spring and autumn.
Trentino – the birthplace of la sportiva
In Trentino, there are a large number and a great variety of rocks. They are all in relative proximity and captivate quite often with their breath-taking surroundings. It is not without reason that Arco is called the mecca of sport climbing and thousands of people come here all year around. The Lake Garda produces a nice mild climate and this circumstance makes year round climbing possible. In addition to Arco, the areas Rovereto, Trento, the Sarca valley together with the Valley of the Lakes and Giudicaria are presented here and we will take a trip around them.

Liquid chalk is often used in place of a chalk bag, as it removes the waste of loose chalk involved in a fall. Some DWS climbers apply liquid chalk in a line on their forearms so they may re-chalk during the climb. Synthetic shoes are preferable to leather ones, as they will not shrink when wet.
