Drytooling crag in Italy

Planetmountain reports about a new bolted dry tooling crag at Monte Dolada located near to normal sport routes. Some of the routes might be climbed without ice axes. This might be controversial for some as the ice axes will leave mark on the rock and possible destroy future sport climbing possibilities including possible hard core routes. 8a think it is nice that different climbing disciplines can share the mountains together. Of course it would not be good if you started to climb with ice axes on established routes on Kalymnos or Oliana etc. On new terrain, it is important to try to see which type of climbing the rock is best suited for and also follow traditions.
