Climbing on the historic walls of Piedmont<\/p>\n
Rocca Sbarua is the «historical» crag for Piedmont climbing – one of the
\nfirst spots, in Italy, intended as a training ground for mountaineering on the
\nhighest peaks of the Alps.<\/p>\n
Its walls have been climbed by all the best alpinists in the Thirties,
\nincluding Boccalatte, Ellena, Gervasutti; later, after WWII, the likes of
\nBianciotto, Rossa, Mellano and Manera explored the area.
\nThe climbers endorsing the Nuovo Mattino movement preferred the comparatively
\n«newer» Orco Valley over Rocca Sbarua, still they didn`t ignore it: the
\nfirst topo reviewing the crags was edited by Miotti.
\nRocca Sbarua isn`t anymore «frightful» – Sbarua, in the local dialect, means
\n«fear», and all the Piedmont climbers carry it in their hearts.<\/p>\n
Very popular all year round, Rocca Sbarua is made of a series of granite
\nlayers and prominences on the south face of Monte Freidur, just above
\nPinerolo.<\/p>\n
This very location plays a key role in its fame: above the plain of Turin and
\nin front of «His Majesty» Monviso.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
