Rock Climbing Guide To Tuscany
MONSUMMANO ROSSA ROCK CLIMBING AREA | TUSCANY REGION Monsummano Rossa is an old quarry area near Montecatini Terme which has become one of the winter sites for climbers in Tuscany. The area is well protected for the elements and the climbing is on routes well protected. Most of the climbing tends to be in the middle grade of difficulty but there are plenty of easier climbs to enjoy. I like the area and would suggest a stop if you are driving from Pisa to Florence.
