Roverella

Climbing 'Roverella' (Grade 5) in the stunning Lake Garda Mountains is a true classic, offering a fantastic blend of challenging movements and breathtaking scenery. Graded 5 (UIAA V), this route typically involves multiple pitches of engaging limestone climbing. You can expect a variety of features: some delightful slabs requiring precise footwork, occasional cracks that welcome good hand jams, and perhaps a short, steeper section or two that demands a bit more power. While not overly extreme, it requires solid technique, good balance, and a comfortable familiarity with multi-pitch climbing. Protection on 'Roverella' is generally well-placed, often a mix of older bolts and natural features, making for a relatively safe but still adventurous ascent. The real reward, however, comes with the panoramic views that unfold with each pitch. From the airy stances, you're treated to spectacular vistas of the turquoise Lake Garda shimmering far below, framed by the rugged peaks of the surrounding mountains. It's a highly recommended experience for climbers looking to push their technical limits while immersing themselves in one of Italy's most beautiful natural playgrounds.
