Description

This area is composed of mainly extremely polished high quality limestone🪨with some rougher rock further away from the river. This leads to boulders where even very easy looking features can turn out to be very technical and surprisingly hard because of an almost total lack of footholds and very subtle texture. This will often leave you puzzled and confused as you try to find a hidden slopey ripple in the rock that will end up beeing the game changer, don't worry, it's how it goes here.😉

I would recommend this area for beginners that haven't climbed outdoors yet, the easier blocs are very high quality and the rock is very very good but the technical nature of the climbing might make it quite hard for the first few days.

This is the best area if it has just rained🌧️and every other crag is dripping wet. Here the rock isn't at all porus and doesn't have cracks that can seep for a long time, this means that 1-2 hours after it stops raining most boulders will be climbable (also high humidity can be wierdly helpful on those slopers).

The best season for hard climbing ❄️ is from late autumn to early spring, except for the depths of winter, as the style is unforgiving of bad conditions. For a more relaxed day ⛱️ of climbing the middle of summer can be great as after doing some moderate climbs you can enjoy the beautiful river🏞️that snakes between the boulders.

History

The first lines were developed in the 90' by some slovenian and italian climbers that, using 90' ethics, chipped some holds; luckily most boulders were spared by the drill and most lines and projects have been left in their natural state.
The boulders were more or less abbandoned by climbers at the start of the new millennium but seeing that this discipline is getting more and more popular the area seemed due for a revamp. Thus this is an effeort to re-develope and document properly (unlike the vague and outdated existing topos) the climbs so that people might enjoy this amazing place again.

Some of the climbs here will have been climbed by someone else in the past, i'm sure, but they will all be newly named because of the very hard to understand, vague and low resolution topos that I found don't allow for other ways foreward. If you recognize a line as not new, you can write to @boulder_friuli and i'll change the name and credit the first ascentionist.
