As the name impies, Petit Petò is short but intense climb on the Covelo wall. Always beautifully sunny, this is a fantastic spot overlooking the entire Sarca valley perfect for a mid-seasons and in winter.

Prendere taglia fuoco con stanga e proseguire su questa fino ad ometto sulla sinistra che porta alla base della falesia. Da qui portarsi a destra della parete e salire piccolo avancorpo.
