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!
