Agordino indoor boulder hall

San Lucano Valley

Immersed in a splendid wooded environment between Agner and Pale di San Lucano, the bouldering area of tthe San Lucano Valley is the largest in the Agordino and one of the most important in the Dolomites for the quality of the boulders. It was discovered and enhanced by Mauro Renon in May 2007 (sectors “B”, “C” and “D”). Later other professionals cleaned other boulders and added a new sector (“A” – “Peschiere-Tòrte”). The numbering of the lines is identical to that indicated on the boulders, and, in some cases, it is not progressive.

ATTENTION: after the Vaia Storm at the end of 2018, the boulders are largely inaccessible.


Agordino cliffs

This nice place with easy access takes its name from a military fort of the First World War and is close to the gym. Lately, it has restyled with the arrangement of the exits of some pitches now with independent chains and the creation of new climbing lines.

Features
Masso di Dolomia dello Sciliar offers resistance climbing on vertical walls with good grips where you need to be good with your feet.

Ideal period
All year. Bear in mind that the sun goes down in the afternoon.

Near the famous Torre Trieste and Torre Venezia of the Civetta group, there is the small cragof Corpassa. You can access it in a few minutes via a short staircase that leads to the intimate ledge you can admire the nearby peaks. It is not a place for crowds and is not suitable for children or animals.

Features
Massive and with holes, the Dolomia dello Sciliar crag offers technical climbing and movement on vertical or slightly overhanging walls.

Ideal period
From April to October. Due to its particular location, in spring and autumn the sun illuminates the wall only for a few hours. It remains quite wet after a few days of rain.

The history of Farenzena as a climbing wall starts a long time ago. Even before the 1970s, the strongest climbers in the valley used it as a training and preparation place for summer ascents in the Dolomites. With the arrival of the 1980s, here they started using the equipment for increasingly extreme itineraries. In 1999 the main boulder was completely re-equipped with resin-coated fixes by the Association “The Revolt”. Recently young local climbers have equipped new pitches on some boulders originally used for bouldering activities (boulders “F” and “G”).

Features
Boulders of very solid and rough limestone, which appear at times overhanging and at times supported. The holds are generally small and clear, and the climbing nature is technical.

Ideal period
From March to October. Avoid periods that are too hot in summer.
