ALCE VOLANTE

Climbing "Alce Volante" (Flying Moose) on the Lake Garda Mountains is a truly exhilarating experience. This multi-pitch route, graded at 6+, presents a fantastic challenge with sustained climbing and stunning views over the lake. The rock is typically solid limestone, offering a variety of holds from crimps and edges to slopers and the occasional jug. The route finding is generally straightforward, but requires attention, especially in the middle sections. Expect some exposed traverses and a few thought-provoking sequences that will test your technique and commitment. The overall atmosphere is incredible, with the panoramic vistas providing a welcome distraction during the more demanding sections. Be sure to check the weather forecast before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly in the mountains. A standard rack of quickdraws, a few longer slings, and a rope capable of handling the multi-pitch nature of the route are essential. Overall, "Alce Volante" is a memorable climb that combines quality rock, technical climbing, and breathtaking scenery, making it a must-do for any experienced climber visiting the Lake Garda region.
