About Precipizio degli Asteroidi

The 500m-plus wall (with another 250m of terrain below) that closes Val di Mello — Italy's most photographed granite big wall, the symbolic centrepiece of the 'Little Yosemite'. Rock is impeccable compact ghiandone granite, mostly south-facing which makes for warm climbing but very fast drying after any shower. Style ranges from splitter trad crack lines requiring a full rack (Oceano Irrazionale) to modern bolted multi-pitches with slab-adhesion crux pitches. Serious multi-pitching — most lines are 400-800m and require confident crack, slab and route-finding skills. Approach ~1 hour from the valley road end.
