The Erboristeria is one of the monumental crags of the valley, certainly the most evident; in fact, coming in the car, immediately after meeting the Terminal, it is just in front of you, beyond the wide right bend: large white and gray walls, closed on the right by a huge roof. The cliff is so large that it has been divided into two sectors: Low and High and has different types of lenghts: short and explosive like "Yucca" and "Zenzero" or long and resistant, like "Ganoderma", "Artemisia", "Yerba Mate", up to those of 8a / 8b, also seasoned with more or less intense bouldery passages (“Cola”, “Pepper line”, “Canapa”, “Space shuttle”).All the lenghts, long or short, of resistance or bouldery, have the characteristic of being very beautiful. The kind of climbing is typical of Valpennavaire: overhanging, on tufas, notches, holes, and the difficulty level is on the average difficult. The cligg is very easy to reach, being exposed to the east, north east, it goes into the shade already for 10.00 a.m., and in its right part remains sheltered from the rain.
