Description

🧗‍♀️⛰ Soledad is a small but very nice sector located further up the road from Arcadio. It is in shade in the morning and can be a good destination for early summer climbs, with a very short approach and short but nice routes. The wall is made of the typical solid limestone that makes Cala Gonone so special, and the routes are no longer than 15 meters. It is one of those places where you'd go when you don't have much time but still want to send a few lines. Considering the non-existent approach, and the length of the routes, you could easily send 5 lines in a couple of hours.

🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ APPROACH
Take the road that goes from Cala Gonone to the "Grotta Ispinigoli" and park at last sharp turn left. The crag is only a few hundred meters below. Very convenient!

History

The small wall of Soledad was spotted and bolted by Gianluca Piras and Giorgio Soddu in 1992. Despite coming from Cagliari, at that time Gianluca put lots of effort into bolting new crags in Cala Gonone. Soledad was just one of his many creations, and one of the most appreciated too. In 2022 the crag was rebolted, taking out the old protections and replacing them with new 316l stainless steel spits.
