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

This climb is beautiful and needs power on the “headwall”. The last crack is wonderful and you have to protect it with friends.

Access:.you start from the restaurant Postmotta where the slabs are well visible. You follow the track and the beautiful path towards Calestro up to the level of the slabs base. Here (cairn) you enter a small track on the right which takes you to the start of the Villa slabs. (40min)

This is a famous friction route, beautiful and hard. Equipment is good but quite long (runouts).

2) via Pizzagalli

It is a hidden wall. Until you do not see it, you would not say you can climb in that place! I like the route very much, there are a lot of cracks to protect, but I especially like the place and the long hike to reach the start.

IAccess:

You start from Dogana (near the border), you follow the path towards Somasaccia and go on reaching other Alpine pastures as far as the path passes through two peculiar fir trees at an altitude of about 1500 m. Here you leave the main path towards Malinone and continue following small tracks. You cross a beautiful torrent and go on up to the huts of “Sotparet”. Going up a heap of stones you reach the base of the wall (2 hours from Dogana).
