Overview

Safety equipment, including harnesses, helmets, and pulleys, is provided and mandatory for all participants. The site is situated along Route 5, a mountain road providing access to the higher regions of the Merlo municipality. Weather conditions such as high wind speeds can occasionally cause temporary suspension of operations for safety reasons.

Insider tips

Wear secure, closed-toe footwear suitable for hiking as the landing zones are on uneven terrain.

Carry a small windbreaker or light jacket as the wind chill at the summit is significantly colder than in the valley town.

Check local weather reports specifically for the mountain pass, as fog can reduce visibility.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk to the site from the town center, as the elevation gain is severe and traffic on Route 5 is heavy.

Good to know

Operations are highly dependent on wind conditions and may close unexpectedly during inclement weather.

Etiquette

Athletic clothing is recommended; avoid loose jewelry or accessories that could snag on safety equipment.
