Giovanni Rocca
UIAGM Mountain Guide

From the punk era to the most beautiful crags
of Finale Ligure

UIAGM Mountain Guide with specializations: canyoning, rope access work, climbing site and via ferrata installer

Geologist and cartographer, passionate about travel, the Rolling Stones, and the punk era.

A life spent climbing the wonderful crags of Finale Ligure and the mountains in all seasons: a great lover of Mont Blanc and the Western Alps.

His greatest passion is climbing, but ski mountaineering and ice climbing are two vertical experiences that particularly thrill him.

He loves discovering new walls and crags, preferring those in Mediterranean coastal areas, places where he was born and raised.

With his wife, he runs a B&B in Finale Ligure, just steps from the crags and the Grotta dell’Edera.
