It's absolutely essential to adhere to this ban if we want to continue climbing at Pietralba… and if you care about keeping your teeth intact.
The Pietralba crag has played the role of a research lab in the regional quest for a grade 8a route, and several routes include chipped holds. Only right side of the cliff is allowed for climbing.
