Description

One of the most famous sectors in San Vito, popular with advanced climbers. Amazing hard overhanging routes with tufas. It stays dry even when it's raining and the sun dries everything quickly. The wind can be an issue if it's too strong and blowing from the south

Access issues inherited from San Vito lo Capo

To access some sectors you need to cross fences used for cattle - be careful to not damage the fences

Approach

(38.116161, 12.737711)

Cross the fence using the ladder 50m north of the parking. The follow the path south-east around the rocks, and behind the corner you will see Crown of Aragon in it's full beauty

Ethic inherited from San Vito lo Capo

As of 2020 it's forbidden to bolt new routes as re-bolting is still the main focus.
