Fully intend going to the San Vito area but hope to try some of the climbing that I believe exists nearer to Palermo. No idea where it is so any information would be well received. Single pitch sunny crags for mid winter with routes between 5b and 6b with a 5 minute walk in? ..........Oh yes and maybe with an ice cream parlour and an outdoor heated swimming pool!

No swimming pool but the areas around Mondello and Addaura (Valdesi and spigolo Valdesi and others) are next to the road, single and multipitch, mostly sport (a few of them need slings and some protections) and good rock (polished in places). Have a look at the guidebook "Di roccia di sole".

And don`t miss the fresh octopus in Mondello...

The outdoor Olympic pool in Palermo is reportedly heated but you need a medical certificate. There are hot springs at Segesta and Palermo.
The grading in the Palermo area tends to be slightly stiff
