Calagonone Climbing Experience

Those who’ve been to Cala Gonone, who have swum in the emerald green waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, who’ve explored the harsh Supramonte inland, who’ve climbed the weathered limestone that dominates this beautiful and wild landscape, know that Sardinia always leaves a mark. A deep one. Those who know this all too well are two of the most expert climbers, Spain’s Patxi Usobiaga and America’s Joe Kinder, featured in this beautiful short film directed by Francesco Piras. This is, yes, a climbing film, but above all its a documentary where action is nothing but a pretext to discover and experience a unique reality.That of Sardinia and its people.
