Description

🧗‍♀️⛰ Although very easy to reach, Aguaplano is still today one of the less known crags in Cala Gonone. Impossible to be seen from the road or any other places, it hides behind an anonymous bend of the road that takes to Nuraghe Mannu. The crag faces east, receiving the first sun in the morning, and is equipped with long and engaging routes ranging from 6a to 7a.

The central and the right pillars are made of perfect limestone and are equipped with the best routes, which were rebolted fairly recently. The right pillar is usually best for warming up, considering it has the easiest routes, such as "Panoramix" (6a) and "Obelix" (6a+), while the central pillar has the highest routes, from "Lughia" (6a+) and "Mariano" (a 40m long 6b) to "Zuanna" (6c) and Tatanu (7a+).

🌞🌡 BEST SEASON
The best season to climb the wall of Aguaplano goes from October to April when it is still pleasant to climb under the sun. During the summer the sun moves away in the afternoon, but the crag has received so much heat that it keeps it even at night.

History

It is unclear who spotted and equipped the first climbing routes at Aguaplano. Anyhow, the homemade plates and the elevated difficulties of some of the routes still on the left side of the wall provide some hints... Maybe the group led by Alessandro Grillo, who bolted so many other crags in the area? It probably was bolted in the middle of the 1990s, together with other magnificent crags such as Buchi Arta and S'Arcu 'e sa Turre
