Description

The crag of Poligonali is located on a 5 small rock spur, N/NE/NW faced, in a little wood near the town of Amelia.

The facing and the location make this climbing spot perfect for the summer climbing, but it can also be attended during the hottest days of the springtime and of the autumn.

It was set by Alessandro Quadriglia, on a commission of the UP&Down Sporting Association of  Amelia, which wanted establish a climbing spot oriented to beginners and to schools.

In fact it offers about two dozen of easy and easy/medium routes on good limestone (quite soiled as for all the rock in the shade of the trees), of short and medium length and and well protected.

The space under the routes is almost always wide and comfortable, and the approach is very short, and there are several rocks to some bouldering. Thus this spot is suitable for family with children.
