roads

Re: Indian Creek Road Closures (Again)

Re: Climbing in Italy

Hi Daniel, I did both last year. Arco is blazing hot and the limestone is wicked polished. The Ruppe Secce Sud face of Mt. Colodri has F5/6 multipitch stuff and the other faces of Colodri have longer and harder things. It is readily accessible from the main Arco campsite which is nice but a bit pric...
