Atteraggio sulle spine

Climbing 'Atteraggio sulle spine' (Landing on Thorns), a formidable Grade 7 route in the heart of the Nonsberg Group, is an experience that truly lives up to its evocative name. This technical line winds its way up the steep, often intricate limestone of the Nonstal Alps, demanding precision, mental fortitude, and a delicate touch.

The 'thorns' might refer to the sharp, unforgiving crimps and edges that characterize much of the climbing, or perhaps the psychological pressure of committing to exposed sequences where every move feels crucial. The route is a masterclass in varied climbing, offering a mix of strenuous overhangs, tricky slabs, and sustained vertical sections that test both finger strength and footwork.

As you ascend, the breathtaking views over the Val di Non and the surrounding Trentino landscape unfold, adding to the grandeur of the undertaking. Reaching the anchors after successfully navigating this challenging ascent is incredibly rewarding, a testament to skill and perseverance. 'Atteraggio sulle spine' is a definitive classic for those seeking to push their limits in the 7th grade within a stunning, albeit less frequented, alpine setting.
