Route

Stairway to Heaven was established with 10mm bolts, meaning that 8 quickdraws, a single rope and cordlette are all you need to repeat it. All the belay stations are equipped with maillon rapide for the abseils, but you’ll need to clip into the bolts on the way down since it’s overhanging (a single rope and cordlette will facilitate the abseil from belay 3). Several days were invested in cleaning the line to make repeats more enjoyable.

Getting there
Reach the hamlet of Sommaprada in the municipality of Lozio (Valle Camonica). Access
From Sommaprada (hamlet of Lozio) park at the top of the town, follow the signs for the churc S. Cristina (signpost n. 81), walk past this and continue towards the Val Baione bivouac. The face is immediately visible on the right. Once opposite it, leave the path and descend towards the base. Calculate circa 50 minutes from the parking lot. Car park coordinates: 45.994036, 10.262527 Notes
