INNSBRUCK ROCK | Idea Montagna climbing guide

climbing guide

This is a comprehensive guidebook describing the sport climbing in, and around Innsbruck. It covers an area from Silz in the west, including Telfs, to Innsbruck and Hall in the East, plus south of Innsbruck to Steinach Am Brenner.
The guidebook describes 67 main climbing areas and covers a wide variety of climbing and rock type. The main rock type of the area is limestone and conglomerate, but there is also Gneiss and granite to be found. The guidebook mainly covers single pitch sport routes, but there are also plenty of bolted multi-pitch routes described plus some bouldering.
The altitude of the crags varies from less than 1,000m around Innsbruck to over 2,000m in the surrounding mountains. This means it is possible to climb in this area throughout the year as the crags face in different directions so sun or shade can be found as required.
All the routes are shown on colour topos, along with UIAA grades. For each area there is a brief description of the climbing, a location map and approach information, plus QR codes for the parking areas. There is also information on the altitude of each crag, its orientation, how good the bolting is, its popularity, parking tips, rock type and walk-in time. A table shows the total number of routes at each grade at each crag.
