Pilastrini di Introbio

On Wednesday the 23rd of September, we went directly from school to Linate and pick up Ambjørn who came from Norway. As a surprise, we brought him directly from the airport and out climbing. Ambjørn had never climbed before, but accepted the proposal without too many objections.

We drove to Pilastrini di Introbio, which is located on the eastern side of Grigna, just outside Pasturo. The climbing site has an adequate selection of easier routes between 5.5 and 5.10b. Because of this, it is a good place for beginners and for practicing simpler dual rope-length routes.

Pilastrini di Introbio is well bolted, but some of the bolts are a little bit too far apart. The climbing site is located at an altitude of about 700 meters, and the cliff is facing south. It is on the eastern side of Grigna, and will be in the shade of the mountain by evening. In the upper parts of the wall, you have a beautiful view of the valley and the surrounding mountains. A nice climbing site, although the foot of the cliff usually will be in the shade due to trees. A map of Pilastrini di Introbio A map of Pilastrini di Introbio

We had a pleasant day with easy but pleasant climbing. Felix got his first experience with dual rope length ascends, and Ambjørn appeared to enjoy himself on the cliff. This is by no means the last time you will find Ambjørn on a climbing trip.
