Sardinia

I wrote this a week ago but forgot to post it…

The trip to Sardinia was great, even if it was off-season and all the restaurants were closed…

The climbing the first few days weren’t too impressive and almost every route was on slab or vertical wall with tiny holds. I didn’t like it too much but it was good finger training!

So the second half of the week we moved to another city, to climb at another area. Here the climbing was much better, step climbing mostly on pockets. The climbing started to go well too, was really getting into climbing after not being able to train that much lately because of school. I was able to do a really nice 8a and try many routes onsight just one after another. Some I did and many I was really close to do, but it was just so fun to try another route even if I was really tired!

The surrounding area was always very beautiful and quit, which was a great bonus. We also had great weather, the whole week, with only a bit of rain during the nights. The big down side was the driving though, the roads very terrible going up the mountains, an 110km drive took more than 3hours!
