Climbing 'Il sole che struttura' on the Parete San Paolo Süd of Monte Colt is an experience that truly embodies the spirit of traditional multi-pitch climbing. Nestled above the picturesque landscapes near San Paolo, this route offers more than just a physical challenge; it's a journey into the heart of the Trentino climbing scene. Rated at UIAA grade 6, it presents a sustained and engaging climb suitable for experienced intermediates. You can expect a variety of moves – delicate slabs, powerful cracks, and exposed traverses – all on excellent limestone, typical of the region. As the name 'Il sole che struttura' (The Sun that Structures) suggests, the south-facing orientation often blesses climbers with ample sunshine, making it an ideal choice for cooler days, though it can get warm in summer. The views from the higher pitches are breathtaking, sweeping across the valleys and towards the distant peaks. Each pitch unfolds new challenges and perspectives, building a sense of accomplishment with every meter gained. Reaching the summit is a rewarding experience, not just for the climb itself, but for the profound connection to the rock and the expansive landscape below. The descent usually involves a mix of rappels and a walking path, bringing you back to the serene base, perhaps reflecting on the structure of the sun and the rock.
