"Adventure terrain" could solve access problems in Italy

Andrea Gennari Daneri from Pareti has shared the story how an access problem could be solved in Italy by defining crags as "adventure terrain". The background was that a landowner wanted to close the crag due to a recent accident. (c) Pareti - Annalisa Caggiati climbing in "Clandestino" sector, Fosso Dell'Eremo

"On March 2, 2021, a 68-year-old climber fell off one of the various crags of Fosso dell'Eremo area (Marche, Italy) due to an error in the abseiling operations after a solo ascent. Following this event, the owners of the area, also owners of the nearby quarry, have forbidden access to the crags indefinitely. Local climbers, anticipating the ordinance of the mayor of the town of Piobbico in whose municipality the best crags of the entire Marche region are located, have issued a request not to frequent the entire area until further notice. This is to demonstrate a sense of responsibility and a willingness to collaborate with the authorities in order to reopen all the crags, including that of Fosso. The climbers propose to arrive at a definition of all these crags as an adventure terrain on which neither the owners nor the local authorities can be called into argue in the event of an accident. In Italy, in recent months and from north to south, there has been a succession of closures of small minor climbing sites, usually located in private land. If the local climbers, led by the regional delegate Fasi Alessandro Angelini, succeed in this challenge, it will be a formidable precedent that could be imitated throughout the country, so as to avoid further closures. At the moment in Italy, unless for very few crags scattered in the country, there’s no regulation and even definition about their access and use."
