I like how you refer to a 300m high x 100m wide wall as "the only decent bit of cliff". Also, you can scramble around the Kundalini buttress. There is plenty of good climbing at Mello, the downside is that the campground sucks and is expensive.......but hey, I think that goes for all of europe these days.

So....you recommend people go to Cham, sleep in a squat, catch 20euro cable cars, and climb amazing routes? Cause our friends who were there last summer had an expensiver experience, which involved a lot of standing in queues for routes.
