Climbing "Il sole che solleva - Placconata" (5+) on Monte Colt is a truly rewarding experience. The route, known for its slabby (placconata) nature, demands precise footwork and confident movement. While not overly strenuous in terms of raw power, the sustained nature of the climb requires stamina and the ability to find small holds and maintain balance. The exposure is moderate, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape, which can be both inspiring and a little nerve-wracking. The rock quality is generally good, providing adequate friction, but careful cleaning and assessment of holds are essential. The crux of the route likely involves a delicate traverse or a section where precise foot placements are critical. Overall, "Il sole che solleva - Placconata" is a classic Monte Colt climb, offering a great challenge for intermediate climbers looking to hone their slab climbing skills and enjoy a beautiful day in the mountains. Remember to bring plenty of water and sun protection, as the sun can be intense on the exposed face.
