Description

Underrated sector with orange rock and some very high quality routes

Access issues inherited from San Vito lo Capo

To access some sectors you need to cross fences used for cattle - be careful to not damage the fences

Approach

Approach from the south is not recommended, as you would have to cross part of the coast with very sharp rocks. From the north there are a few options:

Still on asphalt, ideal for rental cars (38.182917, 12.725818)

Closer to the rocks, but on dirt road (38.181620, 12.721803)

Even closer to the rocks, but the road is quite bad and rocky in some places (38.175634, 12.716612)

Ethic inherited from San Vito lo Capo

As of 2020 it's forbidden to bolt new routes as re-bolting is still the main focus.
