Technical Information

Route

Wall ascent: follow the farm road to the wooden gate at the beginning of the path that starts on the left. Follow the path to another, smaller path on your left that quickly climbs through the woods to the wall.

Local climbers began bolting which was continued by a talented climber from Biella who wanted to create high level technical, athletic and mentally challenging routes. Route ratings do not reflect other walls but is highly forced for higher difficulty. Climbing is free-style with various types of holds making it an endurance and stamina climb.
The activity requires technical experience. Alpine guide assistance is recommended.
