The Latorita Valley starts from Ciungetu locality, where crag marker is posted on the map.
The road along the valley is practicable all year long, except winters with massive snows.
The approach is very easy, almost all the boulders can be seen near the road, sometimes over the river.
Because the valley is quite narrow, distances to boulders and between them are very short, so there is no need for GPS trails.
Orientation of the valley is West - East, so you can choose to climb in sun or shade depending on the day time and position of the boulders.
After rain, boulders will dry in a few hours, but the best conditions will be the next day.
Once you entered the valley the cell phone signal disappears, so save boulders locations on the map or write it down as follows.
