Ulassai and Jerzu Rock Climbing Guidebook

Description

This is a comprehensive guidebook covering all the sport climbing found around the villages of Ulassai, Jerzu, Osini and Ussassai in the Ogliastra region of Sardinia.  The best time of the year to climbing in the Ulassai and Jerzu area is from March until December as there are lots of shaded walls for hot days and sunny walls for the colder ones.

The guidebook details over 1,200 routes across a wide range of grades, and contains all climbing sectors in Ulassai, Jerzu Osini and Ussassai.  A breakdown of the number of routes at each grade is as follows:

Up to F4 – 32 routes
F5’s – 96 routes
F6’s – 438 routes
F7’s – 437 routes
F8’s – 138 routes
F9’s – 1 route plus 59 ungraded projects

All the routes are shown on colour photo topos.  For each of the 4 main areas there is detailed access information, and an approach map showing the various parking areas.  Information for each sector includes the GPS co-ordinates, plus symbols show the number of routes at each grade, orientation, approach time, if the sector is child friendly, and if the sector is affected by the wind.

Published in January 2022 (revised 4th edition) this guidebook is in English and Italian text throughout.  The profits of this guidebook are used for the bolting and re-bolting of routes in the Ulassai, Jerzu and Osini areas.
