Zoo di Berlino

West    25 min. 12 6a ÷ 7b 2021
Small but very interesting cliff that you meet just before arriving at the Galera. The cliff is in fact evident, remaining almost on the access path to the Galera. It is a vertical wall, at times slightly overhanging, on excellent rock. The climbing style is, therefore, technical and fingery. The construction site was started in 2012 by Dinda, at the time of the bolting of the Galera, but then not continued. In 2021 Adriano Giovani cleaned up the cliff, fixed the existing projects and added new pitches. West facing cliff, in the shade in the morning; for the winter period, you can therefore combine it with the Galera (already in the sun in the morning), then frequent it in the afternoon, when it goes to the sun. Do not miss the pitches of 7 grade.

Approach

From Castelbianco reach the village of Veravo and park in the large parking lot behind the church; from the parking lot turn right and enter in the village and cross it all until you reach a cobblestone path that, on the left, rises among the olive trees (red triangle path marking) until you cross a dirt road; to go for about 200 meters (to the right) and little before arriving at a small house of the aqueduct, take a path on the left with indication Bauso (red triangle path marking). After some bends, you will find the detour on the left to access the classic areas of Bauso (wooden signpost); instead continue the path until you meet the dirt road again. Here, take the path on the right that goes up with a red square sign (stone blocks). After some ruins on the right, you reach another fork (signs painted on the rock, red square signpost) and go to the right. A few meters later you will find another fork: if you go up to the left you will reach the SCUDO and MISTRAL sector, and also the GALERA; once you have arrived near the SCUDO, continue the main path (three minutes longer than the Scudo sector) trail sign with red square and at the height of little stones take to the left to get under a little cliff; continue for a few meters until you reach Zoo di Berlino
