<p>First of all: the areas described in this fat volume have nothing to hide in comparison to alpine crags! On the contrary: fantastic rock, the Mediterranean climate and the proximity to Bella Italia offer a perfect mix that makes every climber's heart beat faster.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;The variety is literally almost limitless: around the Plöckenpass, excellent high mountain limestone awaits with routes from level 4 to 11, in a magnificent setting, garnished with Italian cuisine -&nbsp; this makes climbing families looking for relaxation just as happy as performance-oriented top climbers.</p><p>Another fantastic area is the climbing hotspot around Lake Wolayersee with its short approaches and excellent routes in the 5 to 7 grade range. Over 30 multi-pitch routes in this desirable category are waiting to be plucked.</p><p>And that's not all: the extensive Nassfeld area, the Kinigat massif on the border between East Tyrol and the province of Belluno, the climbs on the Sella Nevea pass in the Julian Alps and the mighty Mangart massif on the border between Italy and Slovenia are comprehensively covered in the guide.</p><p>&nbsp;There is no doubt about it: in the south-eastern Alps you will find every conceivable facet of climbing - wild walls up to 1300 meters high as well as alpine sport climbing routes, fine climbing gardens and productive bouldering spots. In this guidebook, our authors Hannes Lexer and Stefan Lieb-Lind have almost exclusively described routes and areas that they know first-hand - the crème de la crème.</p> <p
