A new bouldering area has come out, as if by magic, after Geremeas rocks:
it is nearby Cagliari! Four years ago I have been wandering- long time
before the bouldering-fashion came back into fashion-throughout the
lands around Cagliari; I however didn't find what I was looking for.
I was wrong: I was used to the bouldering-fashion of the 80s on the
Piedmontese erratic blocks and I was looking for a big rock, 7/8 metres
high, where I could trace several moves. So I hadn't noticed that just
under the Sardinian eastern route, the SS125, a true paradise was concealed,
made up of rocks 3 metres high at the most: there were great numbers
of very beautiful moves all waiting to be discovered. I remembered it
in the January 2001: immediately Simone Sarti and I started doing our
very best, trying to climb what looked like huge granitic eggs. We think
one of the most beautiful Sardinian bouldering areas has come out; perhaps
even of all the Italian ones. It is constituted by very fine granite,
not bad at all to the touch; it has technical moves and difficult recovery.
It needs a lot of equilibrium gifts but there is little probability
of to getting hurt by falling down… There aren't very difficult moves
for the moment: the problem is that some of the projects we have considered
are difficult to develop. We offer you this delicious thing, while waiting
for the national experts!
