GOCCE D'ANSIA

Climbing 'Gocce d'Ansia' (Grade 7) in the Lake Garda Mountains is an unforgettable experience. The route, whose name translates to 'Drops of Anxiety,' lives up to its moniker, offering a healthy dose of exposure and demanding technical climbing on often precarious holds. The limestone is typically solid, though careful footwork is essential, especially on the crux sequences. The sustained nature of the route means maintaining focus and efficient movement are key to success. While the physical challenge is significant, the breathtaking views of Lake Garda stretching out below are an ample reward, making the mental game just as important. Successfully clipping the chains at the top feels like a true victory, a testament to perseverance and a deep breath taken amidst the stunning alpine panorama.
