Crag features

Cattedrale nel Deserto was one of the first areas to be developed in the area back in the 1980s. As is usually the case, this means a mixed bag of offerings ranging from forgotten old mixed routes to newly rebolted sport climbs with hard extensions. The faces are generally smooth and vertical offering technical and sustained wall climbs. There are a few multi-pitch challenges on the tallest section, but the main attraction is the beautiful central wall with its very long complex series of sport climbs. To the right the rock changes to present smooth gray slabs with a number of excellent technical routes.

Cattedrale is being rebolted and the new lines often add extra sections and independent lower-offs or extensions. Be wary of old bolts which have yet to be replaced. Make sure you have a long (80m plus) rope, although even that isn't long enough for some of the pitches where you need to descend in stages.
