Climbing the "Via del 46 Parallelo - Placche (Parete) Zebrate" (grade 4) on Monte Brento is a classic alpine experience that rewards the climber with stunning views and a satisfying sense of accomplishment. This route, characterized by its zebra-striped rock formations, is relatively accessible, making it a good choice for experienced beginners or intermediate climbers looking for a longer, multi-pitch adventure. The climbing itself involves mostly slab climbing (placche) with generally good friction. Protection is mostly bolted, though bringing a small rack of cams can be useful to supplement the existing gear, especially on less traveled sections. The difficulty is consistent around grade 4, so you can expect relatively comfortable climbing with occasional steeper or more exposed moves. The exposure, especially higher up, is significant and adds to the overall experience. Careful route finding and solid belay practices are essential. The approach can be demanding, and the descent, often involving rappels or scrambling, requires careful planning and awareness of potential hazards. Successfully completing the "Via del 46 Parallelo" is a memorable experience that combines enjoyable climbing with breathtaking alpine scenery.
