GIACCA GIALLA

Climbing 'Giacca Gialla' (6-) in the Lake Garda Mountains is a memorable experience. This route, whose name translates to 'Yellow Jacket', offers engaging and varied climbing on generally solid limestone. While the grade of 6- suggests a moderate level of difficulty, the specific character of the route makes it feel quite rewarding. Expect a mix of face climbing, delicate traverses, and perhaps even a chimney or two. The bolting is generally good, but be prepared for the occasional runout, especially between the easier sections. The views, as you'd expect in the Lake Garda region, are spectacular, providing a stunning backdrop to the physical challenge. The overall atmosphere is pleasant, often sunny and dry, making for a thoroughly enjoyable day out. Be sure to check current conditions and topo information before heading out, and remember to bring appropriate gear, including a good supply of quickdraws and potentially a few long runners.
