The coastline of Western Sicily is a real amusement park for climbers. The protagonists are the Mediterranean sea, the golden tufas, and the laid-back Sicilian vibe. Nature is still untouched here and you will find extraordinary rock quality and scenery, ranging from limestone crags, to sandstone boulders and DWS routes over crystal clear water. During the Boulder Camp, you will explore the awesome sandstone boulders of Western Sicily, experience the local climbing culture, and most of all have a blast with your new climbing buddies.

Mapo Tapo Boulder Camp
Explore the awesome sandstone boulders of Western Sicily
Scorace forest, with its sandstone boulder blocks, is a real gem of Western Sicily. Huge bowls with perfect holes, mainly slopers, delicate slabs, overhangs requiring surgical heel-hooks.
The area hosts 200+ blocks - personally cleaned by our local climber Cata - from 4a to 8a, and many more to discover!
In the Northern-Western point of the island, you can find nice deep water solo spots: the cliffs here are not too tall, and the water's deep, which makes the place suitable also for beginners!

More Info
Climbing Skills
This is a climbing trip for autonomous climbers exclusively. There will be no instructors nor guides present, so you will need to know how to climb safely outdoors without help of a third party. Boulder grades range from 5a to 8+. We do not mind about your grade as much as about your ability to be a fully independent climber. If you are unsure about your climbing level and you prefer to be guided or assisted in climbing, book onto one of our trips labelled 'Certified guide included' or contact us.

Liability
Mapo Tapo selects crags and local partners with the utmost care. For any inaccuracies, however, we can not accept any liability. Rock climbing is a risky sport that takes place in nature. Ultimately, you are fully responsible for the choices you make. Mapo Tapo recommends that anyone who does not have sufficient knowledge and skills not to go outdoor alone. Contact us to organize a trip with a certified mountain guide instead.

Travel
Please DO NOT book your flights until this trip is confirmed. Most of our trips require a minimum number of participants to run. Wait for the status of the trip to be confirmed and for more information go to the "How it works" section
