Sardinia Climbing Trip with The Crimp and the Goodlife
Welcome to the beautiful island of Sardinia! Our journey will begin by taking you to Olbia in North of the island where other worldly shaped boulders make their home by the beachside!
After a few days exploring these weird and wonderful blocs we will take a rest day before travelling to the southern part of the island to try our hands at sport climbing on the many exciting routes on offer including the striking white granite slabs of Villasimius!
But what about the chilltime? We also want to hit up the famous beaches, drink aperol and get gelato!
Fear not! This trip will be the perfect combination of activity and relaxation! We will spend the end of each day letting loose and giving the body and mind time to winddown... Afterall this is The Crimp AND the Goodlife. ;D
Check below for further details!
