Bauso Rosso

Bauso Rosso is a sleeping giant as a sport climbing destination. Initially developed in the early 1990s, it has remained off the radar since and never demanded the attention it almost certainly deserves.
The walls consists of stunning red overhanging limestone with an abundance of tufas, flowstone and stalactites and the views over Palermo are stunning. Many routes have very steep starts, although things don't let up much in the upper sections with power endurance being the key to success here. The crag is best for those operating at 7a and above, although there are a few mid-grade climbs which are all of high quality.
Specific first ascent details are not known but much of the early work was done by Ignazio Mannarano as well as the Mediterranean Sport Climbing Centre, which was founded by Antonio Nastri. As with most older venues, the gear can be old but much of it is being replaced and new routes are likely to be added.
