PIETRA DI LUNA – SARDINIA’S WEST COAST

This guidebook covers all the sport climbing crags along Sardinia’s south-western coast, featuring the same graphic layout as the previous editions of Pietra di Luna, which have received widespread acclaim from climbers all over the world.

This is the second volume in the new Pietra di Luna guidebook series, dedicated to the different climbing areas of Sardinia. It focuses on the west coast, covering the stretch between Capo Pecora and Carloforte Island. The inland areas of Villacidro, Punta Pilocca and Gutturu Pala (Fluminimaggiore) are also included.
For the first time, the guidebook features both traditional and sport climbing crags.

All the crags covered in this volume are listed on the cover. The information is fully updated for 2026, including grades, new routes, approaches, historical background and topos.

Capo Pecora – The world’s most exotic trad climbing area? Incredible, sculpted granite overlooking Caribbean-like waters – or rather, Sardinian waters! All the new routes established over the years since the 2014 edition are included.
Murru Biancu – A fantastic new addition near Capo Pecora, close to the beautiful beach of Portixeddu. Granite sport and trad climbing to suit all tastes, in a breathtaking setting.
Villacidro – A historic granite climbing area where people have been climbing for over 40 years! Here, the sport climbing crags come closest to those found in Corsica. An absolute must for anyone who loves granite sport climbing.
Punta Pilocca – Does it really need an introduction? Anyone who has climbed at Punta Pilocca has fallen deeply in love with it – or rather, completely under its spell. Some of the finest limestone in Europe can be found right here, hidden among the mountains of the Iglesiente region.
Hollywood (Gutturu Pala) – A superb, hidden and little-known crag, now completely rebolted.
San Nicolò – A completely revamped canyon, reviewed and documented from scratch, with several new crags waiting to be discovered in a stunning coastal setting.
Buggerru – Could this become the capital of southern Sardinian climbing? The new Baunei, the new Cala Gonone? We certainly believe so! New crags are popping up everywhere, and the quality of the rock and the beauty of the sea are second to none. And, for now, virtually no crowds!
Gutturu Cardaxius – A huge number of crags in this canyon: some have been rebolted and rediscovered, while others are still waiting to be explored.
Masua – These crags are among the most famous in Sardinia, and there are plenty of new developments here too. Superb rock just a stone’s throw from the sea, with a mild climate throughout the year, especially during the winter season.
Gonnesa – The real hidden gem and one of the highlights of this guidebook. Around ten sectors, both new and refurbished, offering climbing even in summer. Incredibly high-quality rock just a short distance from the sea.
Sulcis – Three very distinctive crags that will appeal to climbers who enjoy unconventional rock and unusual, exotic settings.
Carloforte – An island with a distinctly northern feel and volcanic rock just waiting to be explored, especially by trad climbing enthusiasts. Inland, Sard District is a new little paradise for crack climbing. And yes, there are sport routes too! Did you know that?
We are sure there is more than enough here to make for a different kind of Sardinian climbing holiday: away from the crowds and far from the usual destinations.
