Thanks

We have reached the fifth edition of this guide book, and approval to print has arrived thanks to the help, participation and availability of you all.

Davide Negretti. I should like to thank you above all. This year you were unable to be the co-author of the guide, but much of the work laid out here is the fruit of your labours over the years, and therefore it is also thanks to you.

Gianguido Dalfovo. How can you reply to our every call with so much enthusiasm and passion? You never stopped being patient, understanding and generous. And so modest. Because let’s say, if there is a slabby 8b or 8c to free, it will have your name on it. And in the valley your name is on so many. Style, grace, class. On the rock, in life and in your profession as a chef. The guide book is finished! We shall let you climb in peace. But give us a call for one of those delicious Trentino dishes! We promise, especially to Sara, that we won’t talk about climbing...

Lorenzo De Bonis. We were in touch to get some information about your crag, Pausa Pranzo, the lovely little cave above Lago di Loppio. And on the phone you told me that you had another one. Where? Above Massone. One fine sunny day at the end of October you took me under the 50 pitches of Terra di Nessuno. You and Nicola Trenti shared explanations on all the routes for hours, while attempting a spectacular traverse on polished rock with pockets. And then? On our way back to the car you say “Actually there would still be another one. Would you like to see it next time?” Which in the end, from another one, the rock faces turned into two, and your contagious enthusiasm and generosity as well as that of your bolting partners were able to bring to life a new, great part of this guide book.

Fabio Leoni. My long standing climbing partner and friend. You have always been my advisor over the years of these five editions of the guide book. Over there a great wall, over here they are bolting another one, phone that guy and ask him…. I have always asked you and you have always told me where they have opened this or that pitch. I would really have liked to have you officially on our team of authors. But as you say, it would have taken up too much time from your bolting and your two-wheeled trips. From Paola and your children, Chiara and Luca. It’s a pity. Even if I kept on at you long distance!

Simone Banal. Mountain guide. Always available. We were constantly at your house and it is a true pleasure to spend time with you. You live in Ranzo, a magnificent balcony overlooking the upper part of the Sarca Valley, one of the places which in the last ten years has become a vertical reference point of excellence with so many beautiful, quality rock faces. You are my lookout point up there. And by the way. Thank you also for those photos of the untiring Danilo Bonvecchio taken from your slide conference on the history of some of the most beautiful rock faces of the Upper Sarca Valley. It has been a great honour to have them for this Guide Book.

Mario Manica
