My parents have just booked a weeks holiday at lake Garda. They've thankfully agreed that I'll get the chance for a day or two of climbing as I've heard the routes in that area are brilliant. Can anybody reccomend any routes/ crags that are easy enough for my younger brother to climb and also a bit more challenging for me?

Thanks

Are you sure that's Spain.. or Italy?

In reply to h.cook2000:
Definitely check your geography.

Might be some awesome routes around Lake Garda..but no good to you..if your 1000+ miles away in Spain.

In reply to h.cook2000:

Assuming you mean Lake Garda in Italy, then the top end of the valley is one of climbing's meccas - Arco. However it popularity means that the easier routes are polished horrors that are far harder than the grades suggest.

This crag further down the valley - Marciaga - might be better, but it's over 10 years since I was there.

Yep sorry that's me not thinking

Not all of them. Chris. There's quite a drive in that area to open up new sectors that cater for the sub-6 climber; if you get away from the hammered favourites there is some nice rock to be found.
