ISBN: 9782952638876

A selective guidebook describing 180 multi-pitch routes from 7 areas around the world, covering Calanques, Verdon, Sardinia, Meteora, Wadi Rum, Tsaranoro, Red Rocks, and Zion.

Author(s): Thierry Souchard

Date: 2017

This digital guidebook presents a selection of 13 multi-pitch routes taken from the book Rock around the World. The Tsaranoro Massif is one of the most famous multi-pitch climbing destination in the southern hemisphere. On these clean-cut imposing vertical walls, most of the routes are bolted.
They were bolted bottom-up and involve committed climbing. The spaced bolting should not be neglected by the leader of the rope party. Bolted 6c grade is required for the selection. Routes are drawn on zoomable photos. The content of the guidebook is detailed in the OmegaRoc app.
