hi I hope you have a good trip. I am going to be in Italy next semester and one of the places that I want to climb at is Sardinia. I am still unclear on how to find the routes and the difficulty levels. Do you have a guide book that you are using? If you do is it written in English?

So let me give you my advice on the routes I climbed in Isili :
area of Pietra Filosofale:
Momento Magico (6a), Born to eb wild (6a), Zero (6a), Laguna Blu (6b+) : all very nice, 15m high, slight overhang, big holes.
area of Paese dei Balossi :
E qui l'asino... (5c), E qui casca... (6a), L'asino vola (6a) : all nice too, vertical, smaller holes, with 2-finger-pockets in the last one.
settore Corvo Spaziale :
Camarillo brillo (6b), Palle spaziali (spatial bollocks!) (6b+), Il fantasma buono (5c), Nosferatu (7a) : all great, big overhangs and big pockets!!! short routes (10m) but the last i said (20m).
settore Pentagramma :
Rock'n'roll (6a+) and Barocca (5b) are very nice, while Toccata e fuga (6a+) is mean according to me. Rock'n'roll is on a sculpted arete, very nice!
and settore Urania :
where the amazing roof is with all those 5.14 routes...
I just tried Zigurrat (6b) and Happy Feet (6c), on overhangs with big holes, 20 m high of a very continous climbing, really nice.
have fun!!! :lol:
sun will be down around 5:00 pm and up around 7 or 7:30 am.
average temperature in novemebers are between 11 and 18°c, while the lowest ever are not under 4°c. (coast temperatures, maybe 3-4°c below at night inside the island).
In Isili, the small valley where you're gonna sleep (if you do wild camping, allowed) is not windy, but might be wet as a small river goes through it, with many bushes everywhere.
If you see a tomcat, grey and white, I named him Max, say him hello from me! :wink:

AWSOME!!
Thanks alot for the post. That is some great info. In each of the areas you described at Isilli I have 2 or 3 of the routes you mention on my list of to-do's. I think we are going to start off at Pietra Filosofale and work our way to Urania. I want to give "Wonderland" a go. Thanks again for the info.
