Crepo Longo, sport climbing in the Dolomites

Something like this had been missing: a crag with lots of easy routes, up excellent quality rock, ideal for those who although they don't master the hardest difficulties, enjoy climbing for the sake of it, ideally in magnificent surroundings.

Tahnks to the tried and tested collaboration between the Cortina Mountain Guides and the Faloria cable car, a new crag was recently equipped above Cortina on the rocky outcrop called Crepo Longo, sul Monte Faloria.

At present the crag hosts 26 pitches up solid greyish-black rock. Most climbs are in the 6a/6b region, but there are some 5c's, two grade IV routes and at present just one 6c. The ease of access and south-west orientation combined with the beauty of the routes render Crepo Longo well-worth a visit

I would like to take this occasion to mention the nearby Via ferrata Sci Club 18, certainly the hardest ferrata in Cortina which I have already described in the past. For more information about the Faloria area, visit the site Cortinacube.
