UKC

170m. Descent via track and two abseils (30m and 35m) - so don't forget your rope(s).

Re-opened with new metal line and new information board. Follow the yellow dot track starting at a metal "privado" sign the other side of the small dry riverbed.

Straight up with metal ladder steps the entire way, no need for climbing shoes.

βeta: The fixed rope on the crux of the continuation scramble is no longer in-situ. This adds a grade.

βeta: Did on 28th November 2023. Be careful to follow yellow dots direct up to start through the woods. Note this VF is all stemples straight up, so its a decent work out, with a couple of ledgy bits late on if you need a rest. I've seen some blog posts about a single 60m dynamic rope with stretch being OK for the abs. Personally, I'd take a 70m rope minimum (& don't use too much rope to tie knots in the end!). Decent 2-3h trip.

βeta: On the wall just right of the base of the continuation scramble is some new blue paint and arrows pointing uphill, up the scree saying 'Cima' (summit). These avoid most of the fun scramble and instead take a steep walk up scree then over vegetated slopes to meet the scramble almost at its top, but still below the crux. Odd that anyone would go to the trouble of doing this as the initial part of the scramble is excellent.

βeta: Did via ferrata then followed the ridge to the plateaux. Fixed ropes at top of ridge were (still) in good nick. Did the 2nd ab (Info Board says 35m) with doubled 60m rope without any drama. Excellent day.

βeta: Absolutely brilliant way up. Finished via the scramble (Diffish) to the top of the Crag and walked back over the summit of the Monte Ponoig with excellent views all round. An excellent day out!
