This crag is typically climbed in summer. The altitude (2,325 m) and the exposure (west/southwest) make climbing pleasant only in hot periods.
The limestone belt offers medium-low difficulty with some more demanding pitches of 6c+, 7a and a nice 7b, bolted with anchors and bolts or resin anchors.
Opened by Ferruccio and Sandro Vidi, the crag is dedicated to Raffaele and Natale Vidi, alpine guides who made history in the Brenta group in the years between the two world wars when the summer tourism of the European aristocracy took hold in Madonna di Campiglio.
There are 42 pitches at the crag, each of which bears the nickname of the various Rendena families.
- Climb: 42 pitches from 3 to 7b
- Exposure: west/southwest (the cliff remains in the shade until 1 pm)
