Description
Morning sun to 1pm. Limestone of great quality and featured with pockmarks and flakes. There's technical slabs and vertical walls, often quite fingery. It has glue in and expansion bolts. It is ideal all year round.
Today, the lower section is fairly popular with several good new routes put up by Andrea Minetto. The upper section isn't, despite there being very good routes bolted by Eugenio Pinotti.

Getting There
From Cala Gonone, follow the road signs for Cala Cartoe where to the first hairpin bend where the road bends sharply west to pass under the crags Arcadio and Monte Irveri. Park here (fits about 3 cars). This is an unmaned road and is forbidden to cars. From here, walk about 15 minutes until you come along a sheep watering trough. This is where the upper crag approach starts. To reach the upper section, follow the gully on the left to overcome a band of rocks to arrive at the base. To reach the lower section, continue past the sheepfold for another 5 minutes until you reach an obvious trail in your left. Take that trail for about 3 minutes until arriving at the base.
