grade 4 distance 7km, no rope, min. climbing grade 4 required
Franco Rigoni (asker) Mar 6, 2013:
Allora, mancano un po' di virgole (ho dovuto chiedere). Sviluppo 7 Km, corda no, arrampicata 4 grado.
Direi: Distance: 7 Km, no rope, 4 grade climb (che ne dite?)
Tom in London Mar 4, 2013:
I bow to the experts Glad to see there are 1 o 2 expert climber/translators in here! I'm really only a hill walker. So I will bow to their superior knowledge by removing my suggestion, which will also keep the Kudoz reference clean for the future
info more info is needed

Hi Franco,
sviluppo 7 km corda no arrampicata 4° grado
distance 7km no rope min. climbing grade 4 required

corda no – no rope: will mean there’s no rope on the moutain so you’ll need one with you for the vertical parts.

I’m a rock climber and trekker.
This is the Selvaggio Blu excursion in Sardinia. It’s for expert excursionists with healthy climbing or via ferrata experience taken on a guided excursion where the guide is a certified mountain guide who will rope the party together on some sections and help them climb, rappel the vertical walls.

If you have a look at the material required
http://www.caiponte.com/selvaggioblu/Materiale.htm
You need a rope, slings, carrabineers, a climbing harness and a belay plate to belay other people while they’re climbing and possibly to rappell down again. The sections you have to climb are bolted and/or via ferrata. The level indicated is the minimum climbing difficulty you must have mastered to start unless you want to be rescued.

This is probably day 7 on this site, there are a few rappels and a few easy (grade IV climbs)
Arrampicata di 4° grado protetta con catena, passaggi di 3° grado su roccia, discese in corda doppia molto aeree.
That’s a chain anchor you top rope or rappell off for the grade 4 climbing parts, level 3 scrambling and several rappels.

Here’s a site in English, looks like they do it the other way r ound, because they do this leg on day 2.
Defined as the most demanding trek in Italy, Selvaggio Blu is maybe also the most original and most beautiful.

See Day 2
This day's excursion takes approx. 6h and is considered quite demanding with a height difference of +210m, a progression of 7km and a rope-climbing grade 4.

no rope may also mean no fixed steel rope/cable on this section so you will have to bring a rope with you

«4° grado» = IV degree (scala internazionale UIAA); 4a (scala UK).

disagree Tom in London : "Length" is spelled incorrectly, and anyway is not the correct term

the 7-km distance is to be climbed with no ropes

Maybe better like this, seems to suggest this
Peer comment(s):

disagree Jo Macdonald : Hi Jospephine, it's not a 7 km climb and there are vertical sections you need a rope for
