The 'Via Alessandro Avancini' on Parete Gandh in the magnificent Valle del Sarca is a true classic, offering an unforgettable multi-pitch climbing experience at a grade of 6/6+ (UIAA). This route exemplifies the best of Sarca limestone: excellent friction, varied features including pockets and sometimes crimps, and sustained vertical climbing on predominantly good rock. It's generally well-equipped with bolts, making it a popular choice for those seeking a mix of secure climbing and an adventurous alpine feel. Climbers can expect exhilarating exposure and breathtaking panoramic views of the Sarca Valley and the distant Lake Garda. The 'Via Alessandro Avancini' demands good technique and endurance over its several pitches, culminating in a highly rewarding summit experience. Descent typically involves a combination of abseils and/or a walk-off, depending on the specific top-out. It's a must-do for intermediate to experienced climbers visiting this world-renowned Italian climbing destination.
