Description

Scogliera di Salinella South covers the majority of the seaside cliffs on the San Vito lo Capo.

Like the other parts, the central offers great climbing with a sea view and with minimal approaches (2-20min). Due to the South-West orientation, most sectors get sun in the afternoons making it a great place also for winter climbing. The grades serve well especially those looking for routes in the 6th grade!

The South sectors are among the busiest in the area, and for good reason. These sectors feature a variety of versatile routes and different climbing styles, making it an ideal spot for many climbers. Here, you can discover shorter bouldery routes as well as up to 35m long pump feasts!

Bunker is the biggest and most popular sector, and if it gets too busy for your taste, you can head further south to find calmer crags.

El Bahira sectors are located straight above a campground, making it a popular place for everyone spending time there. Because the cliffs are located on private property, it's important to ask for a permission from the campground before climbing here (if you're not staying at the campground). Please note that some of the routes above the campground are covered partly in by metal net (at least on 12/2023), so remember to check the route descriptions before climbing.

Pizzeria is a great place for the beginners and kids with some very easy (grade 2) and well bolted routes. Approach to all the sectors is only about 2min from the campsite.

Whitewall, Panorama, Amphitheatre and Pipelineare lit in the night, making night climbing possible. This is nice especially when the days are warm!

History

The hard work of bolting has been done especially by J. Gstöttenmayr, J.L.Titt, S.L.Titt, A. Rossi, K. Oelze, D. Arena (author) and others.

Fakiros Pillar was the first developed sector in the area, and other sectors followed after some years.
