Sardegna deep water solo - psicobloc: "state of the art"

[9b editor]

At the moment psicobloc means mainly Mallorca, but I think in the future climbers will discover many other places, for sure in Sardegna too (Ryanair fly to Alghero, Cagliari, Olbia; Easyjet to Olbia and Cagliari).

What about psicobloc state of the art in the big Sardegna ?

I'm not able bymyself to give the right answer to this question: I just try to collect here the infos I have from my friends and from the web, in order to make the very first step to discuss about it.

I'm sure that there are lots of possibilities and virgin ground to explore (to have an example look at the following video from 02.21 to 02.40 seconds ...). In my opinion, we can reach the goal to understand better where to go to explore and open new dws ascents in Sardegna if we cooperate in this aim.

So, if You have other infos or if You discover some other places, please, let us know !!

I created a map with Google where You can see the following areas: if You want to cooperate on it, just let me know.


CAPO CACCIA
Capo Caccia is full of cliffs on the sea.

Between Cala Dragunara and a close tower there is something not more than 6b without any falling risk.
Between the same tower and the Grotta Verde there is a traverse, difficult, it seems may be more than 7b.
You can ceck also from Cala Dragunara to Grotta verde.

If You go to Tramariglio, near Porto Conte, scrambling down a gully You reach a traverse thast You see from the road in the eastern part of the promontory.
If you want just to enjoy opening new routes, go below on the ramp to Belvedere: when you reach the water, there are many possibilities to the right and from Belvedere from grotta verde.

Here You can see a video with Christian Core doing psicobloc around Capo Caccia.
If You understand italian, You can read here Christian and his friend Stella report (there are some photos too).
PSICOBLOC

TAVOLARA

You need the boat to go there and overall You must collect very detailed infos about where You are allowed to go, because there is a military base, so, please, respect local military restrictions.
Done this, allowed zones in Tavolara south could be the future of dws in Sardegna: I saw one km of 100 meters high perfect rock with the deepest water.



FROM CALA FUILI TO CALA LUNA
Kilometers of rock above a pure sea ...
There is the idea to do a great traverse: "Filo di seta", as suggested by Lorenzo.
Who will be the first one to climb it ?



BUE MARINO CAVE
At the entrance of Bue Marino cave, south to Cala Gonone, it seems that Manolo, Mauro Calibani and Maurizio Oviglia tried something hard, but I have no other infos.


CALA GOLORITZE'
This famous (and fantastic) beach where You can find the Aguglia tower could be an interesting area to explore: there is an arch similar to mallorcan Es Pontas ...
Here You can see an inspirational photo of Cala Goloritzè arch.


SANTA MARIA NAVARRESE
Look at my map on google, where You can find some photos.


That's all, now "the ball is on Your feet".
Or, better, the rock is under Your fingers :-)

What else do You know ?
