The following photos were taken on our September 2002 trip to Cala Gonone, in Sardinia. The main purpose of the trip was rock climbing (hence why most of these photos contain rocks in them!), but we also did some Snorkelling, hiking, and swimming. All of the climbing was bolted sport climbing (ie, lead), although there were a couple of routes that required trad gear. There are more photos to add when Danielle gets the films from her cameras developed, and theres a bit of commentary to add - until then, heres some photos of rocks!

Start of the next day, looking down from the base of Ibitak on Budinetto, after just climbing uphill from close to where you can see that small silo thing.

Another shot of the same thing..
Its a photo of rocks. Reason I took this shot (of Scamorza), is that I just climbed it (duh) and did my first solo abseil.. scared the shit out of myself
After the run down, this is a shot back up from where we parked the car looking at the Budinetto crag
