Below and overshadowed by the immense bulk of Teghie-Lisce, the Punta d’Arghjavara is a fun venue with accessible 4-6 pitch routes on good rock.

This crag has four main routes from D to TD with difficulties from 5c to 6c.

A fun translation of an introduction to this venue from a local guidebook:

“At the foot of the ravine of Lunarda, the giver of an exuberant and fragrant maquis, crushed by the bright golden wall of Teghie-Lisce, this discrete point should have passed unnoticed. But the insatiable modern day climbers have pulled the Arghjavara from its eternal nap. Climbing for the day too short or uncertain, or climbs more lazy, more pool, more tan or more if affinity, short stop for epicurian!”

A nice little summit for a shorter day with an easy approach trail.

Take the D268 from the Col de Bavella towards Solenzara. 30 meters before the Purcaraccia bridge, look for a large chestnut tree. The approach trail starts here. Follow the path along a cement water pipe for around 5-10 minutes and at a cairn, take the trail to the base of the Punta d’Arghjavara in another 5-10 minutes.
