    Tips and suggestions

    Large selection of sectors located close to each other along the north side of the suggestive gorge of Pioraco. The south exposure would make it a winter crag, but in that season the walls remain in shadow. However, the wind funneled into the gorge makes it possible to climb there in summer. The rock is very beautiful and the prevailing style is technical slab climbing.

    Roadbook

    Arriving at Pioraco, follow the signs to Sefro. Just after the climb, immediately after the turn, turn right leaving the provincial road. After 10 meters turn left. Continue until you pass a small bridge on the right and find yourself in front of a series of garages under the mountain. Continue to the left until the end of the lane and park so that the car does not cause inconvenience. On foot continue along the path that runs alongside the river until after a few hundred meters you reach a scree slope on the right. Leave the path and climb the scree, then find the path trace going up. In a short time you reach the Malpasso cliff.
