climbing guide

Rocca Pendice è dal 1909 la parete dei padovani che ne hanno fatto, giustamente, un simbolo. Chi arriva dalle grandi montagne e naturalmente snobba le colline padane è sempre rimasto sorpreso da quest’appicco dei Colli Euganei. Ma bisogna avventurarsi nel cuore della parete per scoprirne il valore, per capire che non si è in presenza della solita falesia di valle, iperfrequentata dai giovani e quindi alla moda. Si arrampica in una vera e propria montagna.
Non è un caso che la prima salita, quella del 1909 compiuta dai coniugi Carugati, Mariano Rossi e Antonio Berti, ha richiesto, malgrado il modesto dislivello, addirittura un bivacco in parete. Come nella vera montagna. E non è neppure un caso che “Rocca” sia stata visitata da illustri alpinisti. Pensiamo a Emilio Comici, a Gino Soldà, a Reinhold Messner.
A partire dagli anni ‘80 l’intera falesia ha visto lo sviluppo dell’arrampicata sportiva, molto seguita dalle giovani generazioni, anche con vie di alta difficoltà.
Negli ultimi anni, grazie all’opera instancabile di alcuni giovani arrampicatori, la parete ha visto l’apertura di ulteriori nuovi itinerari. In totale l’attuale edizione contiene 400 monotiri, di cui 100 di nuova apertura e 39 vie multipich. L’intera area di Rocca Pendice è inoltre ottimamente attrezzata, come qualità, tra le migliori in Italia, grazie alla collaborazione tra il Parco Regionale e il CAI.
Ulteriori aggiornamenti si trovano, inoltre, sulla falesia del Pirio e di altre strutture minori sparse nel territorio dei Colli Euganei.


Since 1909, Rocca Pendice has been the rock face of the Paduans, who have rightly made it a symbol. Those who come from the great mountains and naturally snub the Po Valley hills have always been surprised by this peak in the Euganean Hills. But you have to venture into the heart of the rock face to discover its true value, to understand that this isn't just your average valley crag, overpopulated by young people and therefore trendy. You're climbing on a real mountain.
It's no coincidence that the first ascent, in 1909 by the Carugati couple, Mariano Rossi and Antonio Berti, required, despite the modest elevation gain, a bivouac on the rock face. Just like on a real mountain. And it's no coincidence either that "Rocca" has been visited by illustrious mountaineers. Think of Emilio Comici, Gino Soldà, and Reinhold Messner.
Since the 1980s, the entire crag has seen the development of sport climbing, popular with younger generations, including some highly difficult routes.
In recent years, thanks to the tireless work of several young climbers, the crag has seen the opening of additional new routes. The current edition contains a total of 400 single-pitch routes, 100 of which are new, and 39 multi-pitch routes. The entire Rocca Pendice area is also excellently equipped, among the best in Italy, thanks to the collaboration between the Regional Park and the CAI (Italian Alpine Club).
Further updates can also be found on the Pirio crag and other smaller structures scattered throughout the Euganean Hills.
