WHAT IS THE CLIMBING LIKE AT STALLAVENA

This site has been a training ground for local climbers and climbing schools.  Until Cerado was developed Stallavena was the primary site north of Verona.  The cliff offer single pitch climbs on vertical and less than vertical walls.  There are no major overhangs at this site and the problems tend to be one move crux routes.  There are several easy routes, but attention needs to be paid to the fall area and distance between bolts.  A nice site for climbers under the 6c level but more advanced climbers could get bored quickly.
