Campo Solagna - Grotta del Rodolfo

Campo Solagna (Grotta del Rodolfo), is a mid-sized crag located on the slopes of Monte Grappa at 1000 meters above sea level, set in a dense forest of beech, hazel and nut trees. The vegetation and undergrowth are still fairly young, unfortunately during the First World War the brigade that occupied this portion of land burned and felled the entire forest to improve the view in case of an attack by their enemy.

The crag's history dates back to the early 90's, to Paolo Bessega and Stefan Bortoli who climbed the first routes and then passed the baton on to the tireless trio composed of the two brothers, Stefano Casarotto, Momi Casarotto and Sergio Boato. These three did an excellent job of bolting, climbing, and consolidating the pockets and crimps all at their expense, often exposing themselves to criticism and even some sad episodes of sabotage ... (along the lines of: those who know how to do things, do things, those who don't, instruct...). More recently Gianluca Cogo and Luca Bergamin have lent a hand at bolting the crag.
