Description

Five sectors packed full of bolted sport climbing. Easy to aggressive difficulties. Shady, comfortable belaying, easy approaches. Enjoy tufas and hand cracks.

Getting There

From Canicattini Bagni--Via Canali towards SP 86 at the west side of the city. Cross a bridge that runs parallel to an older, antique bridge to the right of it. 2.8km, then turn right where the fork has a large olive tree in the middle, sharp right. Notice a small cluster of the "Timparossa Houses", drive a couple hundred KMs, use the grassy space on the right that is obviously used for vehicle parking. Hike down the hill on the right to approach Nome e Cognome, jump the wall and hike through the cattle farm to approach the newest sector Antro dell'Echo. To find the other sectors, continue driving, the road will descend, become gravel, and become very curvy. Sharp hairpin turns are used for vehicle parking. Hike to the south to find three whole sectors that are parked right next to each other, in order of approaching, they'll be on your right:

-Paradox Wall
-Pisciotta
-Contralfano
