Free climbing up San Bartolomeo

Free climbing up San Bartolomeo cliff, above Chiessi

From Portoferraio, follow the directions for Procchio and Marina di Campo, and then for Cavoli, Seccheto, Fetovaia, and Pomonte.

After passing all these small villages, after about 30 km, you will arrive at Chiessi and you can park your car in the small square by the church or in the parking lot under the road on the left.

Standing in front of the church, the granite staircase with the sign for the CAI trail number 103 is clearly visible. In about 45 minutes, you will reach the cliff.

The San Bartolomeo cliff is divided into two sections that are not very obvious from below. The first level, accessible by a deviation on the trail marked with a sign, has routes with multiple pitches, while the upper level mainly has single-pitch routes.

There is also a short via ferrata that gives the opportunity to reach the summit.

For this cliff, at least 12 quickdraws and a 60-meter rope are needed, and wearing a helmet is recommended.
