Dozens of crags, sports multi-pitch and long traditional routes in perfect granite.
The picturesque commune of Corti (or Corte) is conveniently located in the middle of Corsica's 2nd biggest climbing region. Access to the Restonica valley starts right bellow the citadel, allowing fast access to dozens of crags, sports multi-pitch and long traditional routes. Each day climbing should be completed with a visit to one of the natural pools along the river that can be found from almost every parking spot.
A number of routes are effected by seasonal nesting restrictions. Consult the local guide books and visit https://escalade-corse.com/en/the-bearded-vulture/ for the latest information.
The road in Restonica is frequently congested with sighting traffic the summer months.
Corti is under roughly 1 hour 30 minutes drive from Ajaccio and slightly faster from Bastia.
Park where indicated, take care of the environment, buy the local guidebook when possible (this is one of the ways you can help local route setters), clean up your shoes before climbing, don't spray beta, be polite.

Selected from the hundreds of known, documented multi-pitch routes located on the island’s crags and cliffs, this guidebook describes 110 routes of all levels, from pure trad to fully-bolted and everything in between. They are scattered across all massifs in Corsica except Bavella, for which a specific topo guide has been created (the Bavella-Corsica guidebook). This extensive geographical coverage allows wandering climbers to go in search of varied climbing styles, surroundings and fun, and for climbers based in a specific location to find suitable muti-pitch routes close at hand.
Of course the guidebook features the key, famous routes, but also contains newly-established routes and rediscovered gems. Our aim has been to give as reliable and precise information as possible for each route. We provide a photo with the route traced onto it, details of the walk-in, the necessary gear and a precise description, particularly for trad routes. We have also set aside space in the guidebook for a large number of photos, to give you a taste of what is to come in your next vertical adventures.
