Having climbed in the Vicenza Province for so many years I have forgotten at times the amount of routes and diversity of the climbing available. At one time I climbed over 250 days a year and never traveled more that 75 km, nor repeated a climb less than 7b twice during the year. At the height of the climbing years of the 90's there were probably over 5000 bolted routes within a 50 km radius of Vicenza. Some of the sites have gone into disrepair others no longer allow access but there are still plenty of classsic sites and newly delevoped areas to keep you busy during a vacation. And what other climbing destination allows you to sip a cafe in the square of a 12th C walled city, tour a Palladio villa or visit Venezia on a rest day.
