Since we moved back to Sardinia, in March 2019, I started
again enjoying some little things that I had somehow forgot, and slowly I
realize that there was something that indeed was missing…travelling around the
island, and sleeping outdoors in a tent camp!

13 nights out around Sardinia...
During my long experience living abroad I was often asked if
there was anything that I was missing about Sardinia, my homeland. Of course,
the list was long however I was also enjoying so much my life that what I was
missing was obviously compensated by something else, often new and completely
different that made everything else disappear.

One year of silence...what happened?

Travelling, Working & Surfing in Tenerife...
Even though I am often complaining about my 9 to 6 office routine, I must admit that working for a large travel company it often gives the opportunity and the advantages to do things, which I would probably not be able to do instead.
One of this is obviously travelling.
Recently I was asked to fly to Tenerife to give a 5
days training session to our operations teams diluited in 2 working weeks and flying back and forth from Palma.

Sunshine, nenes y Pollo Amarillo...
A few days ago Ivan Guardia, an active mallorquin local climber, did
a great job updating
names and grades of a sector called C´as Catalá, and sharing it on the facebook
group Escalada en Mallorca.
Almost immediately a discussion about the notorious route
Pollo Amarillo fired up.
Pollo Amarillo is relatively short route initially graded
6C+ that offers nice movements on ergonomic holes on its initial part, followed
by a very hard session on painful small crimps that leads to the anchor.
I personally tried this line right before Xmas and I was
badly kicked out.

Climbing results in 2017: 21 routes from 7a to 7b+
2017 has just finished and it is impossible not to make a
balance of this first year in Mallorca.
Taking into account the mere aspect of climbing, which as
usual makes everything else look almost irrelevant, I would say that the most important
trait of my climbing experience has been fired up by the idea of start taking
note of each route I climbed.
I know this sounds a bit silly, however following the
suggestion given by Sergi Flash, a local climber I often climbed with, I
understood how important this routine is in terms of self-motivation.

Growing older, becoming wiser, climbing harder!
I am proud
because so far I have been able to juggle with life without dropping the balls
a single time, or if you prefer I have been climbing on sight a multi-pitch
with no rests!
If I stop a
second and I watch back I see my life full of great experience and most of them
have been somehow connected with climbing.
