UKC

Does anyone know of any good sites for tracking down topos of climbing in Italy?

I've found this site - https://www.falesia.it/en/ - but, it's not as good as ukclimbing.com, particularly regarding maps.

Any other tips, besides getting hold of printed guides, would be much appreciated (I've got the Arco book, but trying to look for places further south in Veneto).

Thanks!

http://www.planetmountain.com/it/home.html is reasonable. Don't think you'll find anything as good as UKC though.

Kind of a sport climbing search engine: http://www.escalibur.eu/it/arrampicata/san%20liberale/737
A very popular forum: http://www.fuorivia.com/
If you're heading to Arco, this is excellent for multi-pitch sport routes, fairly recent, pretty much single-handedly put up by one guy, Heinz Grill: http://www.arrampicata-arco.com/
This gives info on the "normal routes" to summits: http://www.vienormali.it/

Further south in Veneto...depends what you're after. Two very popular crags:
Stallavena: Just N of Verona http://www.escalibur.eu/it/arrampicata/stallavena/211
Lumignano: Kind of South east of Vicenza (gets very hot). http://www.planetmountain.com/rock/falesie/falesia.html?idfalesia=1

Ah! But just re-read you're looking for topos...which suggests longer routes? Don't think there is anything multipitch further south of Arco in the Veneto...? Could you clarify?

Thanks very much for your help - very useful!

By topo, I just meant some sort of guide. My anxiety is mostly about wasting a lot of time trying to find ways up to the crags... or to find the crag at all, as the case may be.

I'm hoping to get a bit of climbing in, whilst visiting my partners' family in Italy. My partner is less keen than me, though, and we're staying a fair drive from Arco, so I'm trying to find other places that are easier/quicker to get to, though hopefully we'll make it up there for at least one day.

If we can find a few nice easy routes somewhere pretty and not too hard to get to, then it might encourage more climbing; if we get lost in the heat, chased by farm dogs, and find that the bolts are rusty... I'll be on the sofa, nevermind further climbing!

Cheers!
