Renowned for its incredible crack systems, there is a predominantly clean climbing ethic in Valle Orco.
- Bolts
- are often placed for anchors & abseils, but are otherwise strongly discouraged where natural protection can be placed.
Even so, there are a fair number of sport/bolted climbs in the valley. Talk to local climbers/guides before considering putting in bolts, bolts are permanent.
Some classics crack climbs, bolted in mania of sport climbing in the 80's/90's, have since had their bolts removed.
