Toscana trip
June 1st, 2011 Posted in NewsFinally a short escape from everyday routine to rock climbing! Anže and I, we were planning to go to France, but it’s kind of a long drive for a week of climbing. Luckily I ran into Bečan the day before leaving and he recommended me to check out Toscana and he even found a topo in his car by accident. We also got a phone number from a local guy there, Paulo.
Next day we were there, just 6 hours driving, no traffic, no stress… We met Paulo there and he showed us two awesome sectors and the best lines. One day he showed us one crazy secret spot. So we had so many good climbing to do in a week.
We started our climbing days with a morning cup of coffee in Camaiore, then we were climbing until 5pm (that’s when the sun came in), eat pasta like real italians and in the evening it was time to hang out on the beach. Anže was the only one brave enough to check out the sea temperature
For that short but perfect holidays I want thank Bečan for the idea and Paulo and Marta the dog for showing us those great spots.
On this trip we mostly tried to on-sight routes and I succeeded in some 7c+, 8a, 8a+… and for a nice ending I added one more 8b on sight on my tick list! Short and sweet, now back to plastic training
