Valle Spluga
Il Perone
 e placche di Lirone
Very nice combination of two nice routes, 10 pitches of varied climbing: a classic.
On Lirone slab you find many friction routes too, mostly single pitch.
Approach: from Lirone hairpin (good parking) follow the road (Chiavenna direction) for 200m. and then easily on a track into the wood (10 min.)
Descend: rappels from the top (via Perone) then walking.

 3 - Sabato Straordinario - 190m / 6b

The route "Sabato Facoltativo"opened in 1994  by Pilon and Vergari,  has been re-equipped with some variations  and prolonged with 3 more pitches. Now the new route Sabato Straordinario offers very nice climbing  on eccellent granitic rock.

Approach: from the nice parking not far from Rist. Ca'nei Sass in Lirone, follow the main road and transit in front of the restaurant, then go further on following a nice path for about 100m. At a red sign turn on an evident track and cross the stone wall beside the creek. Again on track through boulders (cairns) till the base of the wall. (15 min.)

This is a place where everybody can find something to do with routes fit for children, but even the parents, or anybody else, can find pretty difficult climbs. Between one route and the next, you can bath into the creek that run nearby or lie down relaxing on nice spot for pic nic. Bouldering is great too and last but not least you can perform on Paletta ridge that offers moderate difficulties on fine rock. More recently Fritz Amann added more multipitche routes with difficulties untill 6b.

From Chiavenna follow Splugapass road for 9 km. At the second hairpin after the evidend bridge near Gallivaggio church, park the car at an  enlargement (left hand). On the other side follow a path, red marked, that easily leads to the choosen sector (5 min.).

One long route only on this wall. Nice demanding climbing on fine rock. Very good protection but some friends needed also.
 
Placche di Mescolana
    Bella Ciao


It is an excellent new  route equipped by Guido Lisignoli by several different times and now finally climbed  with Giovanna Mazza on October 15th 2021. 4 bolts, on the 3rd pitch are not climbed free yet, probably possible to stronger climbers. 

Approach: park the car at the hearpin before the first tunnel along Splugapass road (by an old street leading to an abandoned cave)  and walk to Biscione and Mescolana crags. From the latter cross orizontally 100 meters to the start. (15 min.)



Sotto: Bella Ciao, L7 6b
 

The line is unusual, logic, with an orizontal traversing more than 50 meters long, not difficult, reaching a section of the wall turning to south side. The route could become a classic due to the good rock quality and fine climbing. Sure one of the longest of the valley. The 6th pitch (Superplacca)  and the ones on the Headwall  are wonderful. The top is beautiful too and perfect for a good resting.
From there you can choose either to rappel or walking along an unexpected path leading back to Cimaganda.

right hand side: Superplacca.
Below: firs pitch from start and the brilliant (8th pitch).
