Il chiodo fisso - vie di roccia sul Gran Sasso

complete mountaineering guide from Corno Piccolo to Corno Grande to Intermesoli, with 280 rock routes of all difficulties, mostly climbed by the author himself and some opened from scratch by Ledda himself. The routes are described in detail, also mentioning the first climbers and are depicted with splendid images and with traces of various colors which illustrate the various routes on the same photos. This iconographic clarity is one of the greatest merits of the book, from the aerial photo that illustrates the various sectors of the group's mountaineering itineraries to the photos with the routes, which are very clear and sharp and which help the reader to clearly identify the route to follow, the his attack, his development on the wall. A complete and exhaustive guide to the climbing possibilities of this splendid massif, also reread through the introductory texts which, with the author's usual irony, tone down the strictly technical side of the volume. Il Chiodo Fisso is Piero Ledda's new book on climbing at Gran Sasso, which follows the double edition of "In Cerca di Guai", an endless collection of crags in Lazio.
