Camaleontica

ZOOM ++

Nice and demanding climb, predominantly up cracks, to the left of "Umbras". The route reached the final belay of Umbras and terminates here.

GETTING THERE

From Nuoro drive to Oliena, from Funtana Iscandula reach Preda ‘e Littu and then follow the path which leads to the classic route up the Punta Cusidore arete.

ACCESS

From the start of the NW arete up Punta Cusidore, coast beneath the north face and start at the highest point. To the right there are some old bolts (attempt Piras-Scema 1996). Start to the left, on the highest point of the grassy scramble.

DESCENT

Abseil down Umbras or 4 abseils down the route. Two 60m ropes are absolutely necessary!

GEAR

In-situ gear: three pegs along the pitches, pegs and threads for abseils at the belays. Take two sets of camming devices up to 3BD, one 4BD, nuts, kevlar threads, two 60m ropes.

NOTES

All pitches, except for the 6th, were climbed on-sight during the first ascent.
