Why Climbers Love Sicily? โ๏ธ๐ |
โ
Diverse Rock Types & Endless Boulder Problems โ Sicily offers granite at Monte Pellegrino, crisp limestone at San Vito Lo Capo, and lesser-known bouldering areas waiting to be explored. Whether you love crimps, slopers, or overhangs, youโll find projects to suit every style.
โ
Bouldering by the Beach โ Climb with the sound of the waves, then cool off with a swim in the Mediterranean. Post-send swims are part of the daily routine here!
โ
Climbing Year-Round โ With mild winters and long, sunny summers, Sicily is one of Europeโs most climbable destinations, offering ideal conditions nearly every day.
โ
Hidden Crags & Wild Nature โ Beyond the well-known spots, Sicily is home to secluded bouldering gems, where youโll climb surrounded by nature, ancient olive trees, and panoramic sea views.
