In late fall I spent a short week with Sune Buur in the granite paradise of Valle Orco in the Grand Paradiso national park of northern Italy.
We only had a couple of good weather days, but got our main project done which was "Fessura della despirazione" and a few other routes. We only met 4 other climbers during our stay in this fantastic place, certainly going back. The Espresso´s were only 1 euro!!

Sune Buur arriving at the belay after the second pitch and traversing to the Nautillus chimney, which was very wet. It started raining again after this pitch so we bailed.

Bringing the big guns out for the classic of Valle Orco, this 3. pitch climb hardly takes anything smaller than a Camelot 4.
