32 DICEMBRE
1st.climb: G. Lisignoli, F. Giacomelli 1986
The route has been re-equipped on 2006

Very nice climb with hard moves on the headwall. The last pitch follows a wonderful crack. A full set of friends is necessary (n°4 included).

Access: begin in Villa at Posmotta Restaurant from where you see the slabs very well. Follow at first the road and then the nice path to Calestro till about the level of the base of the rocks. There (cairn) you take a small line trough the wood that leads to the the routes (40 min. from Posmotta).

SCUDO DI SCIUCCO
1st. climb: M. e G. Lisignoli 28/12/1989
partially re-equipped on 2004/2005

It is a hidden wall. Untill you do not see it, you did not guess you can climb in that place!
I like the route very much, along many different cracks to self protect with friends. I even like that long hike to reach the base of the wall!

Access: start from Dogana by the border and follow the path to Somasaccia and go on passing beautiful different alpine pasture untill you reach two typicall pine trees at 1500m sl. At this point you leave the main path going to Malinone  and follow a line crossing the slope. You pass a river and go on orizontally till the old farm houses of Sotparet. From there walk shortly on solid stones till the base of the wall (2 h. from Dogana).
