Pietra Del Toro - Amazing?!??
June 17, 2012, 03:09:48 pm
Hey guys. After some info and thought i'd put this up to see whether any of you lot know owt about this area and areas surrounding.

Booked trip with the inlaws and wife to tuscany and after some investigations realised there is actually some decent bouldering around Campomaggiore; principally Pietra del Toro. Michele Caminati has been there and put some good looking stuff up

Does anyone have more info?  topos?

Nice one,

Huff

hey Huffy.
Pietra del Toro appears to be the dog's bollocks. Michele is very enthusiastic. It's quite far from Tuscany though, it's roughly 600 km from Florence.
Anyway I live in Tuscany, I work in FLorence and live in Siena. Let me know if you're around and want to go for some rock, wine or... tripes, or if you need any other info!
Cheers.

If it's in that video, I'm afraid it's another roof. I've never been there!!!

Hi, Pietra del Toro is a really nice winter spot, I think you can start to climb there from October on.

You can find a small topo as well as accomodation adresses and numbers on http://www.pietradeltoro.it !
