Pizzo Boga
If you are looking for a good site as an introduction to longer
climbing routes, Pizzo Boga is an excellent alternative. The main route is "R2
Monza" (5.10d or 5.9/A0). This route covers six different ledges, and has a total
length of about 200 meters. Each of the ledges has several different variants and
alternative routes.
The wall faces southeast, and will usually be bathing in sun most
of the day. On our first day at this site, we had clouds and a light drizzling. Later we
got rain and the rock got quite slippery.
Pizzo Boga is located not far from Lecco. Drive from Lecco
towards Valsassina. After a few kilometers, you will arrive in Laorca. Take off up to the
right, and park close to the gate after about 200 meters. It will take you about 20 min.
to walk from the gate and up to the first ledge. |
