Restyling works at La Galera climbing sector
23/01/2025
This is the unique prison you would like to visit ("galera" means "prison" and the climb's names are referred to famous jails) but, despite of the name,
this sector is completely the opposite concept of a prison: a beautifoul sun-exposed and wind-protected site, with a lot of easy climbs. It's a real top sector for the winter season. And after the restyling works by the Rocpennavaire's team, performed during january 2025 in collaboration with the Arrampicate.it's team, we think about this sector will be much more popular now.
But let's have a look about numbers:
2000 € spent for the bolting material
24 completely restyled climbs
180 glued-in bolts placed
23 new pitch-sets placed
10 glue cartridges used
35 workings days (3 full days completely designated to the clining operations at the bottom and on the crag, using a wind machine too!).
The routes "Toosleng", "Robben Island", "Capraia", "Asinara", "Rebibbia" e "Marassi" now have their indipendent pitch set. The routes "Casuarina" e "Al Hayer" share the same pitch set due to some rock weakness problems at the top of them.
The climbs that don't exceed the 6a level are bolted like "climbing school" style (you can skip some bolts if you find redundant some of them, but who knows how it works if bolts are placed nobody skip one... ;-)
Thanks to Paolo, Claudio, Silvano, Maurizio and Enrico. And special thanks to Davide Bico for the specific tools expecially created for us.
So, also this time we invested sweat and money. We don't want some sweat back from you, but if you want to contribute with some euros, it will be great, thank you!
For donating our IBAN is: IT73B0306909606100000079221, otherwise you can donate on our website www.rocpennavaire.it by paypal.
In any case, you can support our works by purchasing our topoguide; the whole proceed from the sale of the topo is COMPLETELY transferred to bolting works...
