Climbing 'Palma - Croce di Ceniga' (grade 6+) is a quintessential experience for anyone visiting the climbing mecca of Arco. Located on the impressive Croce di Ceniga rock face, this route offers a challenging yet immensely rewarding ascent on superb limestone. The 6+ grade indicates a serious sport climb that demands good technique, finger strength, and often precise footwork on vertical to slightly overhanging terrain, mixed with sections of delicate slab.
The route is typically well-bolted, characteristic of the sport climbing in the region, making it a relatively safe undertaking for climbers comfortable at the grade. As you ascend, the exposure increases, providing increasingly breathtaking views over the Sarca Valley and the surrounding peaks. 'Palma' is known for its sustained nature, requiring focus throughout its pitches. It's a fantastic test piece that combines physical challenge with the joy of moving on quality rock, culminating in a memorable summit experience and a true sense of accomplishment.
