Ali Baba

Climbing 'Ali Baba' (grade 8+) in the Lake Garda Mountains is an experience that truly tests the limits of sport climbing. Perched high on the sun-drenched limestone of Monte Colodri near Arco, this legendary route offers a compelling blend of breathtaking exposure and incredibly technical moves. Each pitch demands precision, strength, and unwavering focus, navigating through steep sections, delicate slabs, and cruxy overhangs characteristic of the region's top-tier climbs. The rock, a pristine grey-white, provides excellent friction, but the holds are often subtle – crimps, pockets, and slopers that require careful body positioning. As you ascend, the panorama of Lake Garda unfurls below, a stunning sapphire amidst the rugged peaks, making every strenuous meter worthwhile. Reaching the summit after conquering 'Ali Baba' is not just about ticking a hard route; it's a profound sense of achievement, a testament to dedication and skill, set against one of Europe's most iconic climbing backdrops.
