Multimedia interactive TOPO/GUIDE group about SINGLE sport climbing sectors and routes in Sperlonga, Italy.

Grandi gesti, Arenauta

The route, completely natural, climbs through the massive roof at the Grotta (cave) and combines the following 4 parts:

1) Super Daytona 8a+ section, which leads to a good rest

2) From here a traverse on "La teoria dell'8a", a boulder section that leads to a difficult clip (avoiding this clip and exiting right on good holds is "Piccoli Gesti" 8b+).

3) past the clip there is the real crux: 6 hard moves on small holds on an autonomous orizonthal section (8c/+ or 8c+ up to this point)

4) then, without any rest, the final section of "invidia" 8b+
