Mello Trad - An Eden of granite
An hidden gem of granite, waiting to be climbed in absolute trad mode.
SOLD OUTOverview
Val di Mello, located in the heart of the Italian Alps, is a mecca for climbers seeking a challenging and rewarding experience. The area is famous for its world-class granite, offering some of the most breathtaking and technical routes in Europe. The granite walls rise majestically above the valley floor, providing an awe-inspiring backdrop to the climbing experience. One unique feature of climbing in Val di Mello is that all the multi-pitch routes are only trad, making it a true test of a climber's skills and experience. The adventure starts from the base of the wall, where climbers must navigate their way up using their own gear and protection. This adds an extra level of excitement and thrill to the climb, as climbers must rely solely on their abilities and equipment to complete the ascent. With its stunning scenery and challenging routes, Val di Mello is a must-visit destination for any climbing enthusiast looking for an unforgettable experience.
