Climbing "Action Directe" in the Lake Garda Mountains is not something to be taken lightly. It's not *the* Action Directe (that legendary testpiece in the Frankenjura), but a fierce climb in its own right, often graded around 8-/8 (UIAA). Expect demanding, powerful moves on steep, often slightly overhanging limestone. The holds can be sharp, requiring good skin and technique. The setting in the Lake Garda Mountains offers stunning views, but the focus will undoubtedly be on the intense physicality and mental fortitude required to clip the chains. Finding good beta is crucial, as sequences can be intricate and unforgiving. Success demands a high level of fitness, precise footwork, and a willingness to push through pain. A truly rewarding experience for any climber seeking a challenging alpine climb with breathtaking scenery.
