“Climbing Green Spit and climbing in general have taught me that with determination and perseverance I can achieve interesting goals that seem impossible at first”.

Watch the story of Marco Sappa, from a career in human resources as a psychologist to the 8b+ at Green Spit.

Greenspit is a 12-meter long horizontal crack that crosses a large 45° roof, in the Orco Valley, in north-western Italy.
The crack is considered the hardest in Europe, and one of the most difficult trad climbs in the world.
