If you enlarge the photo you can see them. One is in the centre, one slightly to the right.Rock climbing in Trieste goes back a long way: generations of climbers have sped out to the nearby hills immediately after work to enjoy the limestone delights of Napoleonica, Val Rosandra and Costiera.
What you see here is a small section of the Napoleonica, a famous crag near Trieste; perched on a hill overlooking the city and its bay.

The one on the right seems to be a bit "hung"...
Rock climbing is out of the question for me. Even climbing a mountain by walking up a path would be too hard or too much. It is partly old age and mostly bad lungs.

Great photo ! Are you the one on the left or the right ?
BTW, the link to the book does not seem to work.
Ciao !
Beautiful rocks and a lovely shot with the climbers. We have something similar above Gorbio - crampons (I think they are called?) fixed into the rock face. The climbers have to get a permit from the Mairie. You've inspired me. I might try photographing them one day.
I came across your blog by sheer accident. Wonderful photographs! Having visited your lovely city three times for periods of two months or so, I must say that your blog brought back some wonderful memories.
Thank you.
Thought climbing was more of a weekend thing, but this is a perfect location for a quick climb.
