lecco val sassina zucco del angelone
my re-education continued this summer at zucco del angelone in barzio near lecco. the limestone was not like any limestone I ever encountered in yorkshire at malham or gordale scar. this limestone has similar friction to granite.

the climbing was fun but i got a little bit over enthusiastic during the first 250 meters and really screwed the
last pitch when my arms gave out. i just could not manage to hold myself on one hand and reach up with the other. well what do you expect if you don’t climb for years and years.

there is an
overview of the crag and via anabasi iv speroni 280 meters here. if you click on the blue type there is a larger image.
