A looming red cliff above the coast road, bulging and holdless with huge roofs at the base, luckily the routes are on an upper tier and are more human. The remains of a Venetian castle cover the top of the crag and provide an interesting ramble while the routes below give more of a challenge. The three reasons to come here are the view over the coast and islands, the cliff is a sun trap and ideal if it is cold elsewhere and finally the route New Order, mega! 9 sport routes between 5b and 6c+ and some top-roped easier stuff.

The Routes

Worth the trip just for this one route, in contrast to the rest which tend to be very technical this one climbs up an impossibly steep wall at only 6a. New Order, go for it!
