Sicilian Scenes… 2018 into 2019

Sicilian life has been very agreeable indeed. A slow paced combination of climbing, resting, eating and sleeping. Sunsets, spring flowers and new years champagne. A magical finish to a magical year and and exciting place to start 2019. Here are a few pick of the last few days and the routes we’ve climbed….
