Vânturătoarea Tous Escalade sportive 101 voies en falaise

An incredibly beautiful sector of limestone situated on either side of a huge waterfall. The name roughy translates to Angel's Wings and it looks just like it from the viewpoint on the way to the wall. Popular with hikers and climbers alike, this is a must-see in Romania. Here you will find the best quality in mostly harder lines, 6c and above. In the upper right sector 2 a lot of grade 8 climbs still need a first ascent! The wall is great in early or late summer as well as the temperatures by the waterfall remain low especially with a breeze.

This area is primarily an afternoon crag, with the first section of the wall just left of the waterfall (Sector 1, Left) going into the shade around noon. Right of the waterfall (Sector 1, Right) and the upper left walls around the corner past the waterfall (sector 2, Upper) do not see full shade in the upper half until 2 pm or later. The lower wall around the corner below the main climbs of sector 2 (Sector 2, Lower) stays shaded but these routes are short and lower-quality. Sector 3 gets shade earlier but is heavily overgrown and mostly ignored, as the quality is not as good, on tall broken low-angle rock. Sector Faleza de Jos gets sun almost all day until after 5 pm, and was not highly-praised by the locals.

There is a recent edition of the Baile Herculaine guidebook with an excellent topo of this area and other in the region including most of the satellite crags dotted along the valley.
