THE MIRROR

Climbing "The Mirror" (8-) in the Lake Garda Mountains is an unforgettable experience, demanding both physical and mental fortitude. The route, known for its glassy, overhanging limestone, relentlessly tests technique and power. The initial moves are steep and require precise footwork to overcome the initial bulge. The crux involves a series of powerful pulls on small crimps, demanding maximum body tension and unwavering focus. Exposure is significant, with the stunning panorama of Lake Garda stretching out below adding to the exhilaration, but also the psychological pressure. Finding the correct sequences and maintaining composure on such exposed terrain is crucial. A successful ascent of "The Mirror" is not just a physical achievement, but also a testament to mental resilience and a deep connection with the rock.
