ROCK CLIMBING IN THE DOLOMITES
Route "Delenda Carthago," 180 meters, 6b. It's a modern-style route, generously bolted, and perfect for climbing on a cool autumn morning due to its south-facing orientation.

The Dolomites feature a vast number of climbing routes, including multi-pitch traditional climbs, sport climbing routes, and via ferratas. The routes vary in difficulty, length, and style, catering to climbers of different abilities and preferences.
Looking for climbing routes in the Dolomites in the middle of October, with a slightly unstable weather forecast, we came across this little gem located on the first tower of Sella.
This formation has some beautiful routes, relatively short, ranging from 150 to 200 meters, with quick approaches and descents.
We decided to climb the route "Delenda Carthago," 180 meters, 6b. It's a modern-style route, generously bolted, and perfect for climbing on a cool autumn morning due to its south-facing orientation.
The route is on excellent rock, well-equipped, and a joy to climb. With just a few quickdraws and some cams for the first pitch, you can climb this route.
Approach: 15 minutes
Difficulty: 6b
Length: 180 meters
Gear: 11 quickdraws / some cams for the first pitch
Descent: 30 minutes walking and a 20-meter rappel
It's an excellent route and a great option for a day with unstable and cold weather. Its short approach, well-equipped and rappelable anchors, and quick descent make it ideal for those days when the weather is uncertain.
Remember to always prioritize safety, respect the environment, and enjoy the stunning beauty and unique challenges that rock climbing in the Dolomites has to offer!
What are the names of the best climbers in the world? Alex Lowe, considered one of the greatest mountaineers in history, who tragically died in September 1999 due to an avalanche on Shisha Pangma (8,027 meters), said: "The best climber in the world is the one who has the most fun."

(Translated by Google) I did a ladder course to learn to go first and secure a first. Essential, super useful and practical. I have learned a lot about safety. It has helped me correct "bad vices" that I had and that can put my safety or that of my climbing partner at risk. And Santi, the instructor, a crack! He explains clearly, is patient, and is in everything. I have gained autonomy in climbing. Thank you for your dedication Santi! Recommended course 200%!

I organised a 4hr climbing session in Siurana for 10 children (mostly aged 8-9) and Santi was super easy to communicate with and organise everything remotely. He arranged 2 guides, all the equipment, safe briefing and everything you would need for a half day of fun climbing. The kids really enjoyed themselves and learnt so much along the way. Some were beginners, others had climbed before and the guides were very helpful and supportive. I highly recommend Southclimb and we can’t wait to go climbing with them again.
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended, they took us in a perfect environment for climbing, with other options in case it was very crowded, they taught us everything we needed to be able to be autonomous in terms of the most appropriate security techniques, practicing everything from there. first moment: go first, place the tapes well and plate, use the grigri in the safest way, make a meeting also in the safest way, and even fall and dynamization techniques. I am very grateful because they solved all my doubts and even helped me choose material!! Nice day of climbing, good people and a lot of learning! A hug to Santi and Yoel
(Original) Muy recomendable, nos llevaron en un entorno perfecto para escalar, con otras opciones por si estaba muy lleno de gente, nos enseñaron todo lo necesario para poder ser autónomo en lo que se refiere a las técnicas más adecuadas de seguridad, practicándolo todo des de el primer momento: ir de primero, colocar bien las cintaa y chapar, usar el grigri de la forma más segura, hacer una reunión también de la forma más segura, e incluso técnicas de caída y dinamización. Estoy muy agradecida porque resolvieron todas mis dudas e incluso me ayudaron a elegir material!! Día agradable de escalada, buena gente y mucho aprendizaje!! Un abrazo a Santi y Yoel
