Apuan Alps, Monte Corchia, 'Via Apericorchia'.

Apuan Alps Monte Corchia - Apericorchia, climbed on 05/07/2013 by Marcello Puliga and Roberto Vigiani

Here is a little path to take on hot summer days because it remains in the shade until late afternoon.

The first shot has probably already been climbed by someone, because we found a fairly new bolted belay, on the second pitch we found an old bolt under the first overhang a few metres from the belay and then nothing more. I'm almost certain that no one has ever climbed above, in any case the route was only climbed with quickdraws and only the belays remained equipped.

The rock is that of the typical Corchia with good sections and others with broken marble to be careful, the most difficult sections are protected quite well with nuts and friends but on the easy ones there are long runouts unattainable!!!

Material

useful a range of nuts including small ones, friends up to 3 Camalot and microfriends .

Descent

by means of an easy ridge, you reach the top of the pillar and traverse to the track that descends the pyrosetto gully.

Degrees I have given them in UIAA scale but you can easily translate them to French scale!!!

Good climbing,

Roberto Vigiani

!!! attention!!!

!!! No protection left on the route except for the belays !!!
