Description
“Sphina” is a single-pitch sport route offering steady, technical climbing on vertical limestone.
The line follows a clean slab with small edges and balance-dependent moves, taking its name from the wedge-shaped profile of the wall.
Difficulty reaches 6a, with fluid, elegant movement throughout.
Protection is dense and reliable (10 bolts), with a belay at the top (no chain).
The rock is compact and grippy, ensuring secure climbing and good friction.
An ideal route for practicing slab technique, combining a beautiful line, safety, and panoramic views.
