The approach to Settore Centrale itself, nestled within the heart of the climbing area, sets the stage with its rugged beauty and the anticipation of the vertical challenge ahead.

'Visigoti', a name that evokes a sense of history and enduring strength, lives up to its reputation. Graded 6+, it's a route that demands precision, technique, and a good dose of endurance. The climbing often involves a mix of technical slabs where delicate footwork is key, leading into more powerful sections of vertical cracks and exposed traverses that test one's nerve. Each pitch presents its own unique puzzle, from intricate sequences over slight bulges to sustained stretches requiring sustained effort. The exposure builds steadily as you ascend, offering increasingly breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and peaks – a reward for every meter gained.

The synergy with a climbing partner becomes paramount on such a route, as communication and trust are vital for navigating the more challenging sections. Reaching the summit, the feeling of accomplishment is immense, a blend of physical exhaustion and pure exhilaration from having overcome the mountain's defenses. The descent, often involving multiple rappels, is a final, physically taxing but equally rewarding part of the adventure.
