The birth of climbing has its roots in Finale, one of the most extensive karstic areas in Italy, at the end of the 1960s.
Climbing in Finale, in those years, meant been equipped with brackets, nails, boots and hemp ropes.
Subsequent promoters of the discipline approached with the passing of years to a more sporty style.
Only in the ’80s, the first input came from France to embrace a new concept of climbing, with less obstacles due to heavy equipment, and more “free”.
With free climbing on the cliffs, you can reach the maximum expression of the movement on cracks and natural grips, allowing the body to really come into contact with the materiality of the rock: hands and feet move on the yellow-reddish wall, joining the progression towards the top to the technical perfection of the movement.
A sport that requires good athletic training, physical strength and coordination, but which rewards every effort with breathtaking views, unique in its kind: climbing frees your mind while at the same time exercising the concentration of those who practice this activity, involving the body completely.
If you are in this area, climbing is an experience that is worth living, perhaps with the help of a guide.
