  • 10 Melloblocco®10
    10 MELLOBLOCCO ®10 10 years of Melloblocco ABOUT MELLOBLOCCO ® “Melloblocco ®, international boulder meeting”, is the largest outdoor bouldering meeting in the world. The idea was born in 2003 and in 2004 its first edition was organized by the Lombardy Mountain Guides, , President Ettore Togni and promoters Nicolò Berzi e Michele Comi, then by the Valmasino Municipality, Major Ezio Palleni, and recently by the Valmasino Tourist Association, President Giacomo Sertori. The meeting takes place on the many boulders scattered in Val di Mello and Val Masino (in the province of Sondrio, in Northern Italy), in a beautiful natural scene, only 140 km north of Milan. Every year new areas are added, where the participants feel the unique emotions of bouldering with the best world specialists, trying together to solve boulder problems of all difficulties. In order to motivate the strongest male and female athletes, a bunch of new problems are selected every year – based on their beauty and high or extreme difficulty, each associated to a money prize which is shared by the few who send the problem. All participants who have enrolled in the Melloblocco ® may try to send the money-winning boulders and all of them may win pieces of technical gear or clothing offered by the sponsoring companies during the event closing ceremony. During Melloblocco ® concerts, exhibitions parties and video shows are a great opportunity for climbers to share their passion and chill-out. The media, too, take their opportunity to take pictures, share views and to interview the strongest boulder specialist in the world. SOME FIGURES ON MELLOBLOCCO ® Melloblocco ® takes place every year during the first week-end of May.

It was big news, for it was an unprecedented grade – and a route that would stand the test of time and see only 4 repeats in the next 14 years. Nev- • Gallery ertheless, it wasn’t long before another climb came to challenge it in the difficulty • The Last Word stakes – and this time it was Germany’s turn. 1991 Aktion Direkt (originally UIAA XI) (or 34/35 for us Aussies) was the product of Wolf- gang Gullich in 1991. The line had been a project of local Milan Sykora – though his vision was of a slightly different path up the same radically overhanging bulge. Gullich set to work on the project but chose instead to take a direct finish straight through the business. To do this, he specifically trained 1-finger pockets, but more importantly started a campus boarding regime that up until then, was unheard of. To train for the route, Gullich (amongst other exercises) trained plyometrics – specifi- cally on one-finger first joint edges. This involved dropping down and catching his weight using one-finger of each hand – then springing back up to the next rung. Clearly this type of training helped him, because he went on to climb the route over a period of 8 days (spread over a significantly longer period).

  • Claudio Cameroni Roberto Grizzi Renzo Lodi
    A cura di: Claudio Cameroni Roberto Grizzi Renzo Lodi VERZASCA BOULDER Valle Verzasca... Much more than bouldering. The very first impact with the vertical world upon entering the Verzasca valley is certainly the overwhelming vertical face of the dam. Construction started in 1960 and by harnessing the waters and changing the flow of the river it changed the landscape and history of the entire valley. Then, behind the dam, cradled at the feet of the villages, lies the still surface of the lake. Here the valley opens, and the visitor is regaled with sights that are spectacular, to say the least. First and foremost, comes the river, its emerald waters flowing wildly among polished rocks patterned with characteristic veins. Lavertezzo is the village with the double-arched bridge, one of the most popular attractions of the valley, equally loved by tourists, swimmers and divers. But the climbers’ eyes are drawn elsewhere; inevitably they will look towards the imposing, monolithic face of the Poncione d’Alnasca, towering high above the valley floor. Nearly 500 metres of compact, vertical rock on which some of the most epic stories of rock climbing in Ticino have been written. In times past, the local peasants used to climb to the base of these faces bringing their few goats to the high pastures. Climbing with their scythe and pannier, frequently barefooted, onto exposed ledges that make the blood freeze in your veins, they would also collect the meager hay offered by nature in this forlorn corner of the Alps, the so-called hay of the forests; and at times some would fall and die.
