Amazing adventure! Love the go pro footage, it’s so raw it’s like the viewer is on the cliff

[@ArrampicataGolden]

Very ahestetic and famous Rombo di Vento (a sandbag 6c that I did on sight in the 90'es ) , then there is WAR 7C, Universo Capovolto 7C beautiful... I do NOT climb anymore the life take everiting and leave few, but I rembember, the memory of the past allow me to live now. Thank You

[@GravityLabz]

I am glad that you enjoyed it Davide. Sounds like you could probably still climb some awesome routes. Are you in Europe?

[@ArrampicataGolden]

Thank You for writing me very much, I did not climb anymore since very long time. I have a very bad life and family situation and now all I can do is remember , dream and sleep. I live close to Finale Ligure.

We're going to Finale for our honeymoon in August, this gets me super hyped!

[@ArrampicataGolden]

Texaxo is in the "Grotta della Stapatente " because it was many years ago but it remind me the Grotta Strapatente.. Grotta dei briganti is beautiful and also climbable in the summer I tried an 8a and I was unable to send it and then there was a beautiful 7b on his left ...wau this video make arises a lot on my memories..

[@johannessporer]

Finale is so much fun! What are your next destinations? Would recommend you to visit Zillertal in Austria for some world class granite sport climbing (especially Bergstation and ewige Jagdgründe). And if you like some more pockets you should not miss Frankenjura. A bit south of Frankenjura there's also a pretty oldschool area called Altmühltal, where you can find crazy crack and slab to vertical climbing on limestone with nice classics from the 80ties. There are the worlds first 8a+ and 8b, so a lot of history...aaand it's my home area so I have to promote it a bit of course ;)

[@GravityLabz]

We are back in the states, so Yosemite for the time being. But we also stopped at Font and the Verdon (videos of those are on the channel). Oh we will certainly have to go back to Europe soon. Austria and Frankenjura would be your recos for our next climbing trip?

[@BryceU]

Crazy how different the rock types can be. Nothing like SoCal granite! Would love to get out on some Italian tufas.

[@itsThemuRR]

Great vid with good info! I'm a beginner and am going there with a group from Ireland in March! So pumped 🤙

[@leculdechien]

Ha yes rockclimbing and pebble beaches. Happydays When I was there in the 90 s, we spotted a white spot half way a 120 meter wall. When we got there we found out it was the cast of a lower leg hanging from a musketon. Image breaking your leg, then going back to put that back! That’s character.

[@tommasozucchini6970]

If you come back in finale you shoud try multi pitching their are absolutely amazing

[@mclarkgable]

Head there in a few weeks. Getting stoked! Any info I should defiantly know? Dig the videos!

[@boundforeverywhere]

You basically can’t go wrong with any crag, they’re all amazing. If you’re going to the more popular ones, get there early. However, even the ones not rated high in beauty or popularity are still incredible so don’t let that discourage you. Getting the guidebook and talking with Marco at the mountain shop was super helpful!

[@GravityLabz]

Get hyped! It is an incredible town and even better climbing. Do you like tufas, vert, or pockets more? They have it all depending on the crag

[@ArrampicataGolden]

Sorry my memory fail, ,Rombo di vento and the others pitches are in Antri Rossi... on the Crag there is Ciclone and Tifone the "twings" then I remember the "spada di damocle" a very hard 7a ...

[@DekarNL]

Video is so good. Rock in that roof looks sharp. Any plans of doing multipitches in EU?

[@GravityLabz]

Cheers! It honestly wasn't too sharp, but was super grippy! Not sure how that works but its incredible. Yessir, we hit up the Verdon, but that was it. Have you seen that video?

[@niccolofinardi4825]

You did some great routes, but you definetely missed all the finale's famous slab routes. Those are real masterpieces of elegance. Cheers from Italy

[@dabisnit]

I would do unspeakable things for that ravioli

[@GravityLabz]

Hell yeah. So bomb!

[@gianlucamandas243]

Ocean😂

[@CodaLucente]

That is no ocean it's the Mediterranean Sea
