Something about Grotti Alta

Description

Big cliff of conglomerate with pockets.

The climb is sometimes painful and difficult for both hands and feet. Overall, the climb is almost never very technical, but you need to be powerful: the most frequent movement is the front closure on the opposite foot.

Typical climbing spot by locals, as the way, which at first sight are very difficult, allow themselves to be tamed (with the rotpunkt): you need to get used to this cliff, especially for the training of the tendons.

Most of the routes of high difficulty presents handholds chipped.
