The faces of Monte Monaco<\/strong>, just outside the town of San Vito, also have classic and modern “multipitch” routes with spectacular views.<\/p>\n

For lovers of Deep-Water Soloing<\/strong> the area has Cala Firriato: here the most daring, free from ropes, can climb the cliffs above the sea caves over crystal-clear waters.<\/p>\n

Palermo<\/a> also has a great variety of cliffs: the favourites are Schiavo<\/strong>, Valdesi<\/strong>, Mariella Crack\u2019n Up<\/strong>, Preistoria<\/strong>, Anfiteatro <\/strong>on Monte Pellegrino<\/strong> and Bauso Rosso<\/strong> on Monte Gallo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Moving towards eastern Sicily<\/a>, in the Madonie<\/a> Regional Nature Park, you can climb Monte d\u2019Oro<\/strong> in Collesano<\/strong> and the Rocca di Sciara <\/strong>in Caltavuturo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the Nebrodi<\/a> National Park there’s the Rocche del Crasto<\/strong>, Rocca Calanna<\/strong> and Rocca Traura<\/strong>, all with uncommonly beautiful rock faces immersed in rugged wild terrain, where eagles and griffons hover undisturbed.<\/p>\n

From If you go down to the sea from Taormina<\/a>, you can climb from the beach itself in the small, but picturesque Stockholm beach<\/strong> area.<\/p>\n

There are no cliffs suitable for sports climbing in the Catania<\/a> area because of the poor quality of the rock. There’s only a small face of very smooth, compact basalt on Etna<\/a> in the Zafferana Etnea<\/strong> area around Acqua Rocca degli Zappini<\/strong>. This has short climbs on ready-prepared single-pitch routes. In the village of Ragalna <\/strong>you can climb indoors on artificial walls and in Catania there are the artificial indoor walls of the university sports centre, CUS Catania<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Siracusa<\/a> and Ragusa<\/a> area is dominated by enchanting canyons, known as \u201ccave\u201d, in which you climb immersed in the silence of nature. Around Siracusa there’s Cavadonna<\/strong>, Arena<\/strong>, Gole della Stretta<\/strong>, Cava Grande<\/strong>, Nome e Cognome<\/strong> and Antro dell\u2019Eco<\/strong>, and Timpa Rossa<\/strong> in Rosolini<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The most well-known cliffs of Ragusa<\/a> are Ambiguit\u00e0<\/strong>, Laddinara<\/strong>, Umpa Lumpa<\/strong>, Pandora<\/strong> and Cava D\u2019Ispica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Siracusa<\/a> is the leading location for lovers of Deep-Water Soloing: every year, fans of DWS from all over Europe gather to climb above the sea in the enchanting inlets in its cliffs and over the caves in the PlemmirioMarine Protected Area<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
