Access is sensitive!
🅿️ PARKING
From Massa Marittima, take the road through Ghirlanda towards Perolla and Ribolla. After crossing the bridge, turn right onto the uphill dirt track. Use the lower clearing on the left just after the turn, or the parking space beside the field slightly farther on. Do not park beside the final footpath or obstruct gates and farm access.
⏳ APPROACH TIME: 10 minutes.
🇬🇧🚶🏻
Follow the dirt road uphill around a right-hand bend. At the next bend, continue straight along the level track. Before the clearings on both sides, take the uphill path on the left into the woods and follow it to the rock.
⚠️ The crag and approach cross private land. Respect signs and any local restrictions, keep noise low, take all litter home and do not light fires.
