Valleys:
Going
out from Ventimiglia take the
national street and after a dozen of kilometres arrive to s. Michele.
We
out some country take tortuous one small road to left, right away
pass the small country of pretty olive and after about twenty of minutes
to Sospel.
Splendid one wall of limestone, with a few draws, of middle/ high,
really superb difficulties is here placed. Proceeding instead on the
national of the Col di Tenda the first centre inhabited
we
meet in French zone is Breil,
plus or minus in front of the station on the other shore of the river
we can glimpse mini- one wall. Some street of middle/ easy, difficulty
rights to heat a little the muscles. Still go up again the valley
and after about ten kilometres reach San Dalmazzo di Tenda. Going
out of country, undergoes after a little tunnel, we find a fork to
left, from here a road door at the valley of the wonders. Continuing
in this direction arrive to the Lac des Meches,
finds it particular one crags here. One does not treat of a very big
site, but he offers the same one a few draws, of middle/ easy, difficulty
by concerning above all for the kind of rock, a kind of gneiss. We
backtrack to San Dalmazzo di Tenda, take again the national one and
after a hundreds of meters, turn right. After few minutes are in an
avenue planted with trees that takes some country to the centre of
La Brigue,
in high to our left one finds a fair copy series calcareous bars.
Will well really find a beautiful place here we where to go by the
day, good one rock, quite a lot of streets of every difficulty (from
the third at eighth degree), a superb view ....... more than so.........
Go back to the fork and take again the national one some with the
of stretches in direction Limone Piemonte. Just passed the country
of Tende
on the right on shipboard road find a car park and the poster that
signals the path that will take some valley to the last crags. Difficulties
rise definitely of level, here most are streets that go from the a
lot of hard to the extreme ... good divertimento!!!!!!
Crags
- Nervia
Valley:
This valley contrarily of the precedents does not present any
crags, or better any equipped crags. Causes is not presents
crags of remarkable interest, unfortunately there are alone
isolated and not interesting little walls and it equipped of
the routes is not worth. Most the present walls in valley are
of very friable rock, of sandstone or conglomerate on what making
any kind of riveting intervention is unadvisable. In high valley,
in the Col Melosa environs, we can find some beautiful slabs.
One crags with about twenty of routes is present on the versant
South of the mountain Corm in the neighbourhood of the refuge
Allavena (C.A.I. Bordighera section.) The wall was equipped
from Flaviano Bessone and Marco Blancardi with the material
disposal by the C.A.I. of Bordighera. The site was however abandoned
since some year for different reasons, the distance from Ventimiglia
(about an hour) for such a narrow number of streets, the impossibility
to climb, seen the altitude (1500 m.) in all the arc of the
year and besides for the vipers, that were at times to the base
of the routes. Made works have never been of maintenance or
reriveting, so the state of the material and the routes is very
precarious. The only 'work' that keeps on working is the 'mini-
ferrata' it in fact is used time he was allowing to access the
crags, at the speleologists that cause the wall in the adjacent
caverns. On the mountain Pietravecchia
are nailed recently a pair of beautiful longs routes, not easy.
