In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Earlier in the year i believe he made the 4th ascent of Ali Baba at the Aiglun wall near the Gorge du Loup-this also has multiple 8a/upper 7s pitchs(about 9 pitchs long)-he fell on one of pitchs but O.S the rest.

In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC: For "normal" climbers, two nice routes right inside the Gole su Gorroppu with great views of this fantastic place are Tziu Basibi (275m max 6b+ 6a obl S2) and Movrdi (hard 6c/6b obl S1+ but feels S2). I've done both of them this year and have just put some photos on my UKC album. I also added the Gola su Gorroppu as a crag. You get down in the gorge after 45' drive and 60' walk from where we live, it is a really cool place. Even if you only walk there it is a "must see" place.

Those who speak Italian can read 1st hand news of AO's visit to Domusnovas at www.shardrock.net.

ciao Peter
