The Valle dei Mulini has always been a big challenge for me.
Here I've learned to climb by first (without top rope...). I still remember with fear the Route "Nido di scricciolo" (6b),
where I made a big jump towards the earth... Even the route Vortice was a bad experience, when a big
block near to me started to move unexpectedly. I felt like Obelix, trying to keep it still, but when
the magic potion finished its effect I had to leave it. My friend Simone (Asterix) saw the big block
falling down just in his direction, but crashing one or two meters on the left.
Anyway, I came back into this wonderful valley and, with more experience, everything changes...
Now I enjoy the beautiful rock, the tranquility of the environment, the variety of climbs...

Access
From Castione della Presolana in Valle Seriana (drive North from the
city of Bergamo) follow an indication on the left to the little village of Rusio.
Leave the car just before the village (parking on the right of the road).
Then take a path along the river that goes inside the narrow valley.
Follow the river and reach the different sectors (from 10 to 20 minutes).

Climate
This site is at around 1000m and mainly exposed to East. So, it is good to climb in the summer. Wet.
