PROGRAM
Discovery with us the beauty of Sardinia combining together climbing and sailing. We
choose the remote island of San Pietro because it is quiet, uncontaminated and rich in
culture. During the week long cruise we will sail in the archipelagos of Sulcis exploring
miles of coastlines and islands in search of cliffs and crags where to stop and climb. On
our way we will encounter basalt crags and limestone cliffs with some astonishing climbing
routes; some of them will be bolted, others will have to be climbed “trad” placing nuts and
friends on your way up.
Saturday the 16th , Arrival in San Pietro’s Island
Meeting point is at Carloforte harbor. Check-in after 18:00.
Accommodation and organization of the boat for the week.

Climbing routes here are on a very neat reddish limestone and some of them start right from the
sea. Climbing will be possible until sunset.
Monday the 18th , Pan di Zucchero
Today will be spent to conquer the white cliffs of the Pan di Zucchero, so called because it reminds
of a typical italian dessert characterized by its white bright color. There will be different routes to
chose from according to the grade of difficulty desired. All of them have 4 pitches and are all
bolted.
Tuesday the 19th , Buggerru’s shore
After having spent the night in the suggestive Domestica bay, we will sail along the 10km shoreline
looking for the lines we want to climb. Many routes are waiting for us: some of them are bolted,
others need to be trad climbed.
Wednesday the 20th , Sard Grit
Morning sailing back to San Pietro’s Island to conquer the suggestive crag of Sard Grit: made out
of basalt offers more than 25 routes starting right from the beach. The perfect place to enjoy some
trad climbing: work your way to the top using nuts and friends. If you are not confident enough
though, tope rope climbing would be the option.
