Parete Stoppani *****

Yellow gray limestone, steep face climbing, moderate grades, and draft beer in the Stoppani Hut, these are the facts about the most beautiful area above Lake Lecco. It is also true that the intense sun can literally melt away your motivation to climb. Bottom line: With ideal climbing temps, this is a great area and it is conveniently close to Erna Sorprese. By the way, the little animals with the pointy noses, and vertical pupils? They are poisonous Aspis Vipers! Beware!
