A splendid buttress with two classic grit-ticks on the overhang theme. There are also a few modern desperates but less in the lower grades. The front face gets the afternoon sun but Strapiombante faces north and can be cooler in hot weather. Guidebook page 270.

Strapiombante 8m. A fine micro-route, strenuous, with good gear to catch you if you blow the final moves. Trend right up the wall to a break... 17 user comments | 2 Stars Pumpy | E1 5b |

Strappotente 10m. An eliminate. Head straight through the centre of the roof, place gear in the lip, then grovel and press to reach the top. | 1 Stars Technical Strong | E7 7a |

Strapiombo 9m. The roof crack to the right is a battle. The use of knees, and loss of copious skin, are all to be expected! 5 user comments | 2 Stars Strong Pumpy | E1 5b |

Oss Nob 8m. Balance up the scary left arete of the narrow slab. | Technical Fluttery | E4 6a |

Left Flake-crack 8m. The crack left of the jutting flake is awkward at half-height | S 4a | |
10 |
Right Flake-crack 8m. The right-hand crack is harder than it looks. Big gear helps. | HS 4b | |

Parallel Piped 6m. The reachy left arete, with gear in the low break. Harder for the short. A good introduction to harder gritstone arete... 17 user comments | 1 Stars Reachy Fluttery | E3 5c |

Benign Lives 8m. The blank slab is lacking in pebbles and protection, it is rarely attempted. Graded for ascents without mats! | 2 Stars Technical Fluttery | E7 6c |

Mild 7m. Step off the mid-height ledge as for Benign Lives. Move up rightwards to the arete past a thin flake and a pocket. | Fluttery | E4 6b |
