This site is not properly a dream one, considering that it is located very near to the town of Valmadrera (industry area). Anyway there are some good points: the distance of the wall from the car is around 30 seconds up to 1 minute for the upper sector. The distance from Milan (North) is half an hour by car. The routes are ideal for training in the 6b-7a range: nice rock and endurance climbing. The equipement was provided by Delfino Formenti. Access From the national 36 Milano-Lecco take the exit of Civate and follow via Bellingera. Go on in the direction of the village Oro (Valmadrera) and, just before a big steep road, park the car. The wall is on your left. Climate Exposed to North, this site is very good in the summer. Rock & Equipement White solid limestone. The equipement is very good Difficulty From 6a to 7a
