Up Climbing is published only in Italian.

There are many topics of discussion that revolve around the issue of over-climbing. It is precisely to bring order and start a sensible dialogue that this thirty-fourth issue of Up Climbing has been conceived.

To open a constructive debate, through the voices of some of the most representative and historic Italian sport climbers, active for a long time within different perspectives, which obviously go beyond the mere technical aspect.

We will start with a round table, to test the waters, then continuing with a series of targeted interventions, divided into large areas: an area of ​​general introductory themes, a second dedicated to social aspects, media and the public/private relationship, to finally conclude with a technical analysis of the problems related precisely to safety.

The objective is to understand the current situation, through constructive criticism and proposals, in a particularly complex – and in many ways worrying – moment in the history of crag climbing.

Below are some of the topics covered in this monograph, with the names of some of the authors who participated in the discussion.
