We are not giving you a recipe but the description of a fine wall half way between Bard and Donnas. This big block of gneiss is one of the best known climbing places in the valley.
L'accesso è pressochè inesistente. Si può fare sicura al compagno direttamente dalla macchina. The climbing style is varied: you must be careful on technical slabs and strength and endurance is required on overhanging rocks.

Access
Coming from Ivrea along road
n° 26 past the village of Donnas turn right and follow the signs to the Fortress of Bard. When the road gets cobbled you will see on the right the huge blade-shaped Bistecca.
