"Given last year’s surprising success we’ve decided to organize the meeting once again, in the hope that we’ll achieve the same results and possibly even exceed our expectations." These are the words of Marco Bagnasco, the man who discovered the bouldering potential at Varazze, the area in NW Italy that on Saturday 25 April will host the second edition of the bouldering meeting Varazze BluBloc.

The formula is simple: a day’s climbing on the beautiful boulders of metamorphic serpentine, a rock that at times resembles that at Fontainebleau, while at other times it feels like climbing on granite. As to the meeting: those who want to can take part in the competition, prior to the final prize draw. The organization, composed of Bagnasco, Christian Core, Stella Marchisio, Elia Corso and CAI Varazze, will provide a free shuttle bus service that departs from Alpicella. Last year this transported more than 200 climbers to the main area at Potala.

“There are lot’s of new things this year, above all the 30 new problems at the Potala sector, all beautiful, most very easy" explains Bagnasco, adding "Despite there having been so many people, it’s worth noting how well the boulderers behaved and respected the environment last year. This may sound obvious but unfortunately this isn’t always the case. Everyone’s invited to the meeting, we hope to see many young and less young climbers, bouldering together, sharing the same passion to transform the get-together into a big party. "
