From Sondrio city (Lombardia, Italy) take the road to Valmalenco, cross the torrent Mallero at the first bridge before Torre S. Maria, continue straight ahead remaining on the orographic left side in the direction of Lanzada. Cross the traffic circle near the tennis courts, continue straight ahead and pass the ski resort parking area; after crossing the bridge over the Mallero torrent, turn right, at the first hairpin bend turn right onto the road to Frazione Curlo (sign Frazione Curlo) and go up to the end of the road where there is a parking area). Take a paved path until you reach the path (sign indicating Albareda, Piazzetta, Alpe Palu). Follow it and in view of the wall and abandoned huts, take the "track" on the right marked by a cairn that shortly leads to the base of the crag. From the car 25 minutes.
