Multi pitching in Sardinia.

Just got the photos in from the last trip to Sardinia in April 2007. This trip was slightly different from the rest due to the fact that the objective this year were higher grades and pushing our selfs rather than mileage and route numbers. As reported earlier we managed to beat our personal best with climbs up to 7b. The new photos are available in the gallery section in the right hand side of this page. Another first out there was Robs first experience of multi pitch trad climbing. A perfect 100m, three pitch route up the right hand side arete of Budinetto. Me and rob completed the route in about 40mins and by the end Rob was confident in setting up anchors and placing protection.

Sam Setting off to lead the second pitch. Rob On belay. Around 40m up the route. The valley floor visible below.

Deutsch wall was our next objective at 90m high and grade 6c. Unfortunately bad weather and high winds forced us down after just one pitch. This is three years running now were we have not been able to get to the top of the route. Our highest point being the 6c third pitch. Plans for the next trip include Deutsch wall and a few routes on the 180m seven pitch crags just outside Cala Gonone.
