Monte Meta lies in the heart of National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise. It hosts a small boulder area which today counts about forty lines divided into two sectors. The first consists of an isolated boulder, called "The Moonboard". It is very easy to reach, it only takes 30 seconds from the road! As the name suggests it is a solid limestone panel with beautiful crimps and some jugs. On this about ten problems up to 7C have been set up, plus some games and variants. The landing is perfect and the lines are amazing, especially Frankenstein, Poof and Grande Poof (project). Given the location, the place is perfect for quick sessions as for a long term projecting.
The second is located on the Biscurri plain, just over an hour's walk from the Campitelli plateau and hosts 3 large boulders on which there are about thirty problems. Most of these are easy, but there are few lines for which it worth making the long approach, like Loop and Mercurio. The sector offers a wonderful landscape with untouched nature, wild animals and tons of tranquillity.
Remember that from late July to early September the hiking track is closed to protect the fauna.
For ski-alp lovers is possible to get there by skiing in late winter or spring.
The area is access sensitive!
From Alfedena take the road to Pianoro Campitelli, go straight until a crossroads (where the road become large and a fountain on the right is visible), turn right and follow the road which goes slighty up toward the mountains. After 4.9 km Moonboard boulder is visible among the trees to the right.
The Moonboard boulder has a super easy access, it lies just 50m from the road.
To reach the others blocs arrive by car to Pianoro Campitelli (just 1.2 km after the Moonboard) where there's a parking (1440 m a.s.l.). Take L1 hiking track which passes through a beautiful beech forest, once arrived at the end of the woodland (about 45 minutes walking - 1.700 m a.s.l.) continue to follow the path on the mounds. After have hiked 2-3 hundreds meters 3 big boulders are visible looking towards right. To this point simply walk heading to them among mounds and grasslands (about 1 hour and 15 minutes from the start).
From late July to early September it's forbidden to hike L1 track to protect the fauna. For more information see the Abruzzo National Park website.
In late winter or spring it's possible arrive there by skiing.
