The first climbing after the quarantine is something you won't forget.
Ermanno Busetti tells it to us.

For at least few weeks Guadagnolo will be the reference spot for the Roman climbers, who, consulting the maps, discovered how small is their province, and how few crags and mountain ranges are within its borders - especially considering that in this season Ripa Majale is closed, and besides, the rumor (to be verified!) on the closure of the access to the Aniene Valley, in the area of Subiaco, that (if that were true) would cut off all the crags of the valley.

In the pictures, we see the leftmost important rocky structure of Guadagnolo. Probably it's the most awesome, with its overhanging, continuous wall. Being South East faced, this wall, weathered with the characteristic slopes of the local limestone, is good for climbing in summer during the late afternoon.
The route in which Luca De Simone is involved is the fearsome"Platoon", a benchmark 6c+, that gets in trouble the poor climber from the start to the last meter.
It is worth remembering, among the other routes of this pillar: "Strapiombando" 6b/+ with a demanding start,"Nuovi orizzonti" 6b countinuous and asphyxiant, and "Massimo Nardecchia", 7a with small crimps but quite crisp.
Interesting, even if secondary "The wall" 6a/+ and "Ho partorito un draghetto" 6b.
