Sun, sea, speed boats and secret beaches – my last weekend in Sardinia. 2am was not a happy hour for waking up, and was even less happy when I walked out of my door to pouring rain and a flat battery in my car. With my brain still cloudy from sleep, I struggled to think how I would fix this problem and still catch my soon to depart flight, from Munich, two hours drive away. The garage was closed, I had no jump leads, and the airport shuttle had already left... things were not looking good. The €300 ...

Almost five years ago my husband and I honeymooned in Sardinia (Sardegna) Italy. We picked the location because we wanted a place where we could sport climb and relax on the beach, plus I was excited to see a part of Italy I hadn't seen before. While we were there, we were excited to see a German couple with two young children - one still in an infant carrier and one was about three. The couple was climbing a route while their children played in the sand. It was such an inspiration to us that we decided

This spring and summer, European climbers made a variety of ascents from Baffin Island to the Mediterranean in a range of styles from hard aid and trad to quick alpine. On May 24, Brits Stuart McAleese, Mark Thomas and Mike "Twid" Turner reached the summit of a massive unclimbed prow in Baffin Island's Stewart Valley. They made their impressive ascent of Welshman's Peak by way of a new aid route, Artic Monkeys (VI A4 V+, 1400m). Climbing capsule-style, the trio set up two portaledge camps. They completed

Nina Caprez has switched from multi-pitch climbing on Sardinia, to single pitch climbing at Céüse. Some of the pitches here are mighty long though... and as she felt she was used to it, she decided to try The black bean, a 70m monster of an 8b+. Unfortunately it started raining after her first try on it, and she had to wait.
After a few days she returned and found it wet... so, while it was drying she did Le chirurgien du crepuscule, a really hard 8b and not exactly a boulder problem either,...

Nina Caprez and Cedric Lachat have repeated Rolando Larcher's and Roberto Vigiani's Hotel Supramonte (7b, 7c+, 8b, 8a+, 8b, 7c, 7a, 7b, 7b+, 7b, 6b+) in the Gole di Gorropu in Sardinia. Cedric, who narrowly missed the onsight on a previous visit, now fought his way up the whole thing with just one fall on the first 8b-pitch (he reclimbed the pitch from the start of course).
Cedric's ascent was a perfect opportunity for Nina to reherse the route once more on top-rope. A couple of days...

Posted By Nina Caprez the 2010-05-22 Jupi, I'm so psyched! Yesterday I realised my project 'Hotel Supramonte'!:-) I'm so happy, because my fitness before coming here to Sardinia was not so good. First day my boyfriend Cdric climbed the route as well and he did the biggest fight of his life! My dear, the poor Cdric was so destroyed from the Boulderworldcup in Switzerland three day's before. He finished 4th and he put all his energy in this competition. The last time he missed the on-sight, so he really ...

Italian climbers Maurizio Oviglia and Rolando Larcher are no strangers to new routing in the Mediterranean. Together they've established climbs in Sardinia, Morocco, Turkey and the Dolomites; Oviglia, author of Postcards from Sardinia in Alpinist 26, alone has climbed roughly 1,000 new routes on that island. Yet on the rock of nearby Corsica, Oviglia had never made his mark as a first ascensionist, despite numerous visits to its excellent crags over the past 20 years. On April 16 at Col de Bavella--what
