Armando started rock climbing in the Dolomites in his teens and has continued his passion - climbing and mountaineering - throughout his life. Armando Corvini is a well known person in climbing circles not just because of his considerable experience and leadership. He has visited the Himalayas more than a dozen times including Ama Dablam and Pumori. As a qualified outdoor instructor and guide Armando has worked over the years with Schools and Colleges on Camps, rock climbing, abseiling and caving trips. Recently, he opened a new, accessible crag in Canberra adding to his considerable repertoire of ACT climbing at Baroomba Rocks and White Rocks. As much as he loves climbing locally, Armando has rock climbed and mountaineered in many parts of the world including Australia, New Zealand, Italian Dolomites, Slovenjans Alps and the Himalayas. Armando is a charismatic person and very much of the Australian climbing scene and an active member of the Canberra Climbing Club. He enjoys being with young and not so young peoples (!), is environmentally conscious and very much loves the great outdoors.
