Description

climbing guide

“Tra le vallate alpine la Val di Mello non ha paragoni. Sopra pareti a picco, sotto un tranquillo fondovalle pianeggiante solcato dalle acque verdeazzurre del torrente. È un luogo mitico nella geografia dell’arrampicata, dove negli anni ’70 un gruppo di ragazzi ha saputo reinventare la scalata, disegnando vie su pareti inchiodabili, immerse in una natura potente e monumentale.

Anche di questo si parla in questa guida. Un’opera monografica di ampio respiro, dove ogni itinerario dovrebbe apparire con il suo carattere e la sua forza, da quelli dei pionieri alle ultime realizzazioni. Di alcuni di questi esploratori abbiamo avuto dei contributi scritti, testimonianze di prima mano di un’epopea leggendaria che ha segnato un periodo storico e ha rivoluzionato il modo di concepire e praticare l’alpinismo; è questa infatti la culla del free climbing italiano.

Seguire i racconti di Masa, Merizzi, Miotti e Boscacci è un po’ respirare l’aria leggera e tagliente di quegli anni. Ma soprattutto è tornare al punto da dove tutto ha avuto inizio, al coraggio e alla fantasia che non aveva velleità di andare al potere, ma che ha saputo alfabetizzare le generazioni che sono arrivate dopo. Leggere dunque per capire e riscoprire un mondo di pietra di qualità insuperabile”.


“Among the Alpine valleys, Val di Mello is unparalleled. Above sheer walls, below a quiet flat valley floor crossed by the green-blue waters of the stream. It is a mythical place in the geography of climbing, where in the 1970s a group of young people were able to reinvent climbing, designing routes on unboltable walls, immersed in a powerful and monumental nature.

This is also what this guide talks about. A wide-ranging monographic work, where each itinerary should appear with its character and strength, from those of the pioneers to the latest achievements. We have had written contributions from some of these explorers, first-hand accounts of a legendary epic that marked a historical period and revolutionized the way of conceiving and practicing mountaineering; this is in fact the cradle of Italian free climbing.

Following the stories of Masa, Merizzi, Miotti and Boscacci is a bit like breathing the light and sharp air of those years. But above all it is to return to the point where it all began, to the courage and imagination that had no ambition to go to power, but that was able to teach the generations that came after. Reading therefore to understand and rediscover a world of stone of unsurpassed quality”.
