    Tips and suggestions

    Wide selection of sectors located close to each other along the north side of the picturesque Pioraco gorge. Its south-facing orientation would make it a winter climbing crag, but the walls remain in shadow during that season. However, the wind channeled through the gorge allows for climbing in summer. The rock is very beautiful and the dominant style is technical slab.
