The Arco Walls guidebook covers all the long multi-pitch rock climbing routes in the southern half of the Sarca Valley around Arco, detailing many classic and modern routes. It covers 8 crags between Arco and Dro, plus a further 11 crags around the villages of Torbole, Biacesa, Tenno, and Padaro close to Lake Garda.

The guidebook covers both trad and sport routes ranging from 100m to 500m long, with many routes between 200m and 300m long. Some of the longer routes require a mountaineering approach along with the placing of natural protection such as cams and nuts.

For each crag there is a good location map and all the routes are shown on a combination of either excellent hand-drawn topos or colour photo-topos, complete with a detailed description. Additional information is given on the type of fixed protection available (if relevant) along with descent information. The grades used are UIAA or unless the route is totally bolted then French grades are used.

Published in October 2020 this Arco Walls (Vol 1) guidebook is in English text throughout. It is the only complete guide for the multi-pitch routes around Arco, detailing many new routes and previously unpublished crags.
