Summary:
The Torrente Re, affectionately called T. Rex, as it appeared for a long time on the old Kompass maps, is a wild and forgotten valley, where traces of past local activities are still clearly visible. The most remarkable is the large mill wheel at the fourth drop. The most spectacular part is undoubtedly the final section, where the power of the water dominates.

Summary:
The Torrente Re, affectionately called T. Rex, as it appeared for a long time on the old Kompass maps, is a wild and forgotten valley, where traces of past local activities are still clearly visible. The most remarkable is the large mill wheel at the fourth drop. The most spectacular part is undoubtedly the final section, where the power of the water dominates.
Access:
Downstream: in Capo di Ponte, you can park near the Church of the Saints on Via Limit (46°01'57.8"N 10°21'11.1"E or 46°01'55.5"N 10°21'10.7"E).
Upstream: in Paspardo, there is a parking area just outside the village heading towards Cimbergo, on Via Bertolotti (46°01'45.5"N 10°22'22.4"E).
Approach (1 h):
• With shuttle: from the parking lot, continue on Via Bertolotti to the bridge over the stream, where it is possible to enter the water near the climbing crag (5 min). Continue walking in the streambed for about 1 h (approximately 1 km and 160 m descent) until reaching the first obvious vertical drop (fixed anchor on the left) and the start of the interesting section (46°01'37.3"N 10°21'56.4"E).
• Without shuttle: from the lower parking lot, continue briefly south on the paved road until you reach the trail ascending to Cimbergo. Climb the trail for about 300 m of ascent until reaching the paved road. Follow the road to the village of Cimbergo, cross it, and continue towards Paspardo until reaching the bridge over the stream. From here, continue in the streambed to the first vertical drop. Approximately 2 h 30 min for 570 m ascent and 160 m descent.

Return (15 min):
• The recommended exit is after rappel #18: climb the scree on the left bank until you find the trail to the 'Eco Mostro' crag, marked with red and yellow blazes (about 30 m ascent). Following the trail to the right, climb a ridge and then descend to Capo di Ponte, emerging right near the small church where the car was left (15 minutes; 100 m descent).
• Alternatively, continue through the boulder chaos in the stream to the bridge at 430 m (D5; D2; C25; D50; C8; D8; boulder chaos 300 m), where it is then possible to exit and return to the cars in 1 minute (30 min from rappel #18). However, this option is not recommended, as it is just a long scramble over rocks that adds nothing to the beautiful upper section.
