"This summit felt hard won, even if on the map it doesn’t amount to much. Mostly lockdown blubber burn, but also some terrain challenges.
At the beginning of the climb, parking the car to the south, down a narrow lane off the Carpineto road, we met two speleologists who had been trying to locate a cave on this hill. They’d not made it to the top nor found the cave. I didn’t find one either.
The main part of the climb is straightforward, crossing the stream, climbing a little and traversing clockwise around the bottom of the hill to the east of it, to meet a fairly clear bifurcation where the path heads up the valley crossing the dry stream bed a couple of times before hugging more clearly the Monte Re side. Following this one meets the main path (left at the earlier bifurcation that presumably goes to the olive groves and back. Not confirmed), and continues along a good, and faintly signed path, to a series of flattened terraces and a semi-abandoned house.
Here we veer to the left to the ascent, weaving up with a fenced off area on the right. We were not sure which of the two tops here was Monte Re so we headed for the inner one first. (It turned out to be the more westerly top)..." — vygodski • May 12, 2021
