Crag features

Rocca S.A.R.I. is a big boulder near the stream, just passed the village of Balme. Well known by the local people since the birth of the alpinistic activity here, it underwent a restyling in the recent years. The grades are "tight" and despite the routes are short and usually discontinous a few sections are really interesting and woth the visit. The spot is perfect in the summer, since the boulder has a shaded face at least in every moment during the day. Also the presence of a few easy route and the practically null approach make this small crag a perfect spot for beginner, also to learn cam placement and trad climbing.
