Celva is for sure one of the best crags in the area of Trento and has a long climbing history. The first routes were set up in the 80s and still are masterpieces of balance and technique on small holds. The route “L’arte di salire in alto” was climbed for the first time by Rolando Larcher in the 1990 and it is probably one of the first 8c of Italy in this style.
Celva has four sectors and offers over 70 routes of all the difficulties. The lines go from the fifth grade to 8c and are spreaded on vertical or slab walls. The rock is a super gray limestone.
The equipment of the routes is generally good and the crag base is ok. The approach is not good for children.
The wall is exposed to the South, so the best conditions can be met during the winter.
If you like old school climbing, Celva might become your favorite crag! A nice landscape over Trento will accompany you during your attempts. Be mentally strong and put your feet properly!!
