Just near Chiavenna there this nice granit structure. The landscape around is really attracting and peaceful; it is not rare to climb lonely here...
Moreover you will enjoy, if you like to climb on smooth slabs: have a nice grip...

How to get there...
From Lecco follow the high-way to Colico (30km, North direction). Then contniue to Chiavenna. From Chiavenna take the direction of the Valle Spluga for 1 Km more or less and, after a wash-house, near a short slope, take a little and narrow road on the right between two houses. After a right-turn, take left, arriving to two old stone-housescasolari in the grass. Then follow a little path and after a while you arrive to a big rock; go on in the woods, following a trace covered by leaves, that brings to the structure. (25 minuti)
