    The "Perla Nera" is one of the easiest ascents of the Monte Colt east face. Only a short 6b move needs to be overcome (can be bypassed more easily), the rest of the route is not harder than 6a. Especially beautiful is the last pitch, which follows an exposed edge upwards. The route has only four pitches and can be combined well with other routes of the San Paolo or Monte Colt wall.

    Author’s recommendation

    At the Pizzeria La Lanterna, you can excellently celebrate a successful climbing day.

    Tips and suggestions

    Description of the route on Arcowall: http://www.arcowall.com/falesie/settore.asp?fd=1&sd=1

    Roadbook

    APPROACH: From the parking lot, a hiking trail starts that leads to Monte Colt and then to Laghel. Follow this for about 15 minutes, then turn right at a cairn (see photo). After another 15 minutes, leave the path beneath a conspicuous power pole and head left under the walls of Monte Colt towards the south. The route is marked on a metal plaque at the base of the wall.

    Alternatively, you can also park in Laghel and approach the start from there.

    GPS coordinates for the start: 45.940426, 10.893530

    1st pitch [25 m, 5c, 7 bolts]: Over stepped terrain up to the corner and then, strenuous, traverse left under the small roof using underclings. Ascend a few more meters to the belay with a chain.

    2nd pitch [27 m, 6b, 10 bolts]: From the belay, climb through a confusing climbing section to the small roof. Overcome this on good holds. Climb a tricky 6b crack (can also be bypassed on the right).

    3rd pitch [20 m, 5a, 6 bolts]: Traverse left, then follow a short chimney up to a ledge with a belay on chain.

    4th pitch [32 m, 5c, 13 bolts]: Very beautiful pitch. From the belay, climb exposed along the edge and pass right of the tree to the belay at bolts on the summit plateau.

    DESCENT: From the exit, follow the trail north until you reach the hiking path back to Ceniga. Follow this back to the parking lot.
