Climbing Via Trento - Placche Zebrate on Monte Brento is a truly memorable experience. This grade 5 (UIAA) route offers a fantastic introduction to multi-pitch climbing with stunning views of Lake Garda and the surrounding valleys. The 'Zebrate' (zebra stripes) refer to the distinctive black and white bands of rock that characterize the lower part of the wall, providing excellent friction and a unique aesthetic. While not overly difficult technically, the route requires solid rope management, efficient transitions between pitches, and comfort with exposed positions. The holds are generally good, but some sections can be slabby and require careful footwork. The crux usually involves a short, steeper section on the upper pitches. The descent is typically done via a hiking trail, adding to the overall adventure and rewarding climbers with panoramic vistas. Be sure to check weather conditions beforehand, as the exposed nature of the wall makes it vulnerable to sudden changes. Overall, Via Trento - Placche Zebrate is a classic and rewarding climb suitable for intermediate climbers seeking a beautiful and challenging multi-pitch experience.
