Route Description
As the name implies (Skala=Staircaise) the vertical pitches are separated by ledges. The first three pitches are crack dihedrals, climbed mostly with lay backing and stemming moves. The fourth pitch is slightly overhanging but with good holds.
athpal added:
The key point of this nice route is in the beginning of the 3rd pitch (VI-). Attention don't use the rusty piton in this point but place a medium size friend in the crack just e few cm right and above of the piton.
The last pitch (4th I mean) is about 30 m climb of IV in a positive slope rock.
If you go a little right after the first 15 m of the 4th pitch the slope is vertical and you will find 2 or 3 fixed anchor but is another route.
"Skala" is a very nice trad climbing route.
Quote:but is another route: Oops!! That's what I did (some route-finding skills!!!)
