Description

Super cool cylindrical room with hard climbing on all sides. Enter by rappelling down a fixed rope, or hiking up through a cave.

Watch out for loose rock on top of the formation, at the end of the routes.

If you entered from the top, don't forget to visit the surprisingly large cave below the Grotta Dell'edera. It's significantly colder than the walls of the Grotta, especially when it's sunny, so it makes for a nice, cool rest.

Routes are sorted from left to right, starting with the Camera Con Vista (7a), a route immediately to climber's right of the main entry arch. The routes make a complete circle around the room, ending with Rank Xerox (6c).

Getting There

Drive north past Finalborgo towards Calice Ligure. Turn right on a road that says Zona Monumentale Perti. Follow this up some hairbend turns, past a big church, and then down a steep hill. There will be parking on the right near some houses, with 2 garage doors etched into the hill on the left side of the road.

Walk towards the houses, down a path that leads over a bridge and under an arch, then turn left and follow the three-dotted red blazes. Follow these blazes up for about a mile until you reach a junction where a trail goes down to your left, and 50ft further on the trail goes up to the right and stays flat going left. The the flat left-hand trail.

Follow this trail along the cliffline until you see the Grotta on your right, with a fixed rope. You can self-belay down this rope, or back track, trending downwards and find a cave. scrambling through this cave (there are fixed ropes and headlamps are helpful) will spit you out in the base of the Grotta.
