Climbing "La Fuga dall'Hades" on Parete San Paolo, Monte Colt, near Arco, is a truly classic and rewarding multi-pitch experience. Graded around 6a/b (or VI UIAA), this route lives up to its dramatic name, offering an engaging ascent up the majestic limestone wall overlooking the Sarca Valley. The Parete San Paolo is renowned for its excellent rock quality, often featuring intriguing tufas, pockets, and solid slabs. "La Fuga dall'Hades" presents varied climbing, from technical sequences on vertical sections to more sustained, powerful moves, all while providing increasingly exposed positions and breathtaking views of Lake Garda and the surrounding Dolomites. It's a fantastic test of endurance and technique for its grade, providing a deep sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit of Monte Colt. The return from "La Fuga dall'Hades" typically involves a series of exhilarating abseils (rappels) down the route itself or a nearby descent line, requiring careful rope management but offering continuous panoramic vistas as you descend back to the valley floor. It's an unforgettable adventure for anyone seeking a challenging yet accessible multi-pitch climb in one of Europe's premier sport climbing destinations.
