After getting snowed out of the Dolomites we headed to a Sport and multi-pitch climbers paradise and around nice spot. Arco, situated at the top of Lake Garda, this little village has its own Mediterranean climate and it was set to sunny and warm when we were there.

Below are some pics from Arco and the great walls and Crags around the village.
We climbed the following routes:

We climbed the following routes:
- Cinque Stagioni - a nice 3 star route, with a cheeky A0 pitch, be warned freeing it will take some doing, we tried. :)
- Aspettando Martino - a fantastic 4 star route and worth every star.
- and played on some smaller crags, getting pretty much shutdown on the first two days
Castle of Arco
This guy was taking the piss as we were getting shut down
He was just an ass :)
Castle, Arco below and Lake Garda in the distance.
There's a Dan in there.
South (near) and East Face of Monte Colodri
One of the best pitches I have every lead.
