One of the most recent cliffs discovered in Ossola, it’s great for the summer season as it’s in the shade almost all day. It is accessed from the first bridge after Croveo, ascending towards Goglio and walking through the woods for 20 minutes or so. The location isn’t dangerous, but the walk to get there isn’t the easiest.
The climb is beautiful, physical and technical. There are slabs, cracks and overhangs where endurance is key.
It can be climbed if it’s spitting with rain, but not in heavy rain.
The grades range from 5a to 8.
How to get there: follow signs for Antigorio Valley, arriving at Baceno and then ascending up to Alpe Devero, stopping in Goglio. You can park just before the first bridge over the river. The path starts from here.
