Vecchiano Rock Climbing Site
Climb Italy - Tuscano Region
Located just north of Pisa and the "Leaning Tower" this is a close crag to escape to if you happen to have your gear with you. The climbing area does not look like much from the road but there are several fun routes to pass your time on. Great area for individuals looking a good rest day or have less experienced climbers.
