DESCRIPTION
The wall, well exposed to the first rays of the day, makes climbing pleasant from early morning in spring and autumn, and the afternoon shade allows for climbing even on hot summer afternoons.
The crag, approximately 25 meters high, is made of excellent marble schists in the main sector, with very shaly ones in the right sector. It is slightly overhanging overall. It currently has around twenty equipped routes, approximately 20-25 meters in length, well-bolted with chain anchors and a carabiner for rappelling. The climbing, predominantly on sharp crimps and cracks, often sprinkled with a few flared holds, is quite power-intensive, especially on the forearms.
There are other routes at the crag not listed here: on the left of the crag, there are 3-4 shorter routes (local name and grade, between 6a-7b), and on the right of the crag, there are 5-6 more overhanging routes (local name and grade, between 6b and 7b); the rock on these routes is a bit dusty.
The characteristics of the wall make climbing possible even on humid days and/or with very light rain.

ACCESS
From Susa, take the S.S. 25 del Moncenisio to the hamlet of San Martino. Continue for about 1 km, passing a disused roadhouse on the right and a fountain in front, until you reach a small lay-by on the right, immediately after a blue "electronic speed control" sign (9.6 km from Susa), where you can park. Alternatively, continue for about 300 meters to the hamlet of Molaretto in front of the bar, where there is a larger parking area. From the lay-by, go back on the S.S. for about twenty meters and descend along the dirt track, passing a concrete aqueduct structure. Continue for another 70 meters (cliff marker on the wall on the right), until you find a trail that descends to the left across scree (white marks), from which you reach the base of the cliff in three minutes.
