Description Suggestion

Corma di Machaby offers dozens (~40) bolted routes in the Aosta Valley.  Rob Coppolillo calls the valley Italy’s best kept secret (https://57hours.com/review/aosta-valley-climbing/).

I didn't get to climb here, but there seems to be a lot of around 8-pitch bolted routes, see the photo of the guide-poster at the trailhead.

Hey, thanks for putting in the effort to get the Corma di Machaby on the MP Map. Just to prevent misinformation, I think it would be worth listed this as "Paratone" - (The Face), as part of the Corma di Machaby sector. It would also be worth including "Gruviera", which is the main sport climbing crag, just 500m west of where the parking is for the Paretone. It is located just behind the little hosteria - l'Osteria l'Arcaden. There is a route list and beta here: https://www.camptocamp.org/waypoints/667407/fr/arnad-gruviera
I have the most recent guidebook and have climbed many of the routes at Gruviera (and a handful on the Paratone) - feel free to email me for topos and information (best routes, etc.)
Cheers, Jeff - jwittguide@yahoo.com
