Looking for a climbing or mountaineering partner in Italy (June)

I'm heading back to Italy for work (this time for a whole month) and i'd like to have some adventure! The people I am going with are your stereotypical businessmen and engineers. I'd like to meet up with some cool people. I'm big into both climbing and mountaineering, but relatively new. I can lead up to 5.11 sport, 5.9 trad, and I've got intermediate mountaineering skills. I'll be sending all my climbing and mountaineering gear because I plan on climbing mont blanc and matterhorn with my friend in July. If anyone is in Italy and is looking for a partner to climb on the weekend (Friday-Sunday), contact me!

I will have a car, I can also get a free hotel room, and occasional free food. I'd be able to help you save a ton of money if you are on a budget. Hoping to find at least someone on here because it should be awesome! I'm also from Utah, I just moved here 7 months ago for the outdoors so I am always down to explore and I'm up for anything.

Cheers,
Anthony

Hi I'm actually going to be making my way from Spain to Greece in June and was planning to do a pit stop in Italy in hopes of some climbing. I'm also in the 5.10+ range and would love to climb somewhere. Does June 19th-20th work for either of you?

Hi masha! I'd be down to climb on the weekends (12th & 13th or19th & 20th). Preferably the first weekend because I need to get in some altitude in abruzzo for our Matterhorn climb the second weekend. I added you on fb, hopefully I got the right person. We can chat on there!

Hi Anthony, I'll be in Italy and Switzerland from July 2-17. Some plans have changed and I was thinking of the Matterhorn too. When do you plan to climb it?

I live in Catania, Sicily. I'm an avid sport climber, and can lead some easy trad pitches. I just recently had surgery to remove some 8-year-old titanium from my femur, so I've gotta take it easy for now. Just know where I am, I'm experienced, safe, strong, and like to travel! When I recover fully from my surgery, I'm gonna be unstoppable!

That's a bargain! I know of a GREAT place in Palermo, and there are tons of other options that I haven't tried, yet!

Any chance you can come to the east coast of Sicily and join me at some crags? It'll help buy my desire to commute to Palermo. I work during the week, but love to leave for some nearby crags right after work, around 4pm. I live near Motta Sant'Anastasia.

I plan on going to the Tito Traversa bouldering competition in Ivrea, Italy. I wanna just go to the men's and women's competition on Saturday. Competition for the kids is on Sunday, which I probably won't care for. I'd prefer to go climbing somewhere early, then make it back to the airport for my flight sunday evening. Is anyone down for climbing on Sunday 14th? I've got a guide book for Finale Ligure.

Hey!
I cant climb on the 14th but other days I'm free. Paul going to Catania may be possible I can try to look into car shares.

I'm coming to climb in Palermo this weekend with a friend. My friend says he wants to climb at Raffaello Sanzio.

My experience at Finale L. was amazing! Good climbers willing to include us.
I was with two Germans we were four English speaking tourists
and we, I was climbed into the ground.
They let me go for it on their gear and were stoked j
When I sent, and more when I missed a clip and flew off.
It makes me smile to see that Mnt, project works in Italy.

Little change in plans. I saw a post by a Sicilian group saying that they're going to a place in Siracusa. I asked my friend in Palermo if he's interested in hooking up with them, and he decided to come east. If you can catch a ride with him, might you be interested in coming over with him and going back with him? Or, it might work out better for you to stay on the east coast Saturday night, and we can take my car to Palermo to climb a little on Sunday, and you'll be back home. Let me know what you think!

Hey! Anyone interested in climbing in Finale Ligure this Mon and Tues (June 15-16)? I will be there with a non-climbing friend. I have a sport rack and rope. Reply to me here or at tlr229@gmail.com if you're interested!
