Pala delle Lastiele
Pala delle Lastiele is a 250 meters high crag situated to the North of Parete Zebrata, a well known and frequented wide slabby wall. Lastiele is a wall that doesn't particularly stand out when compared to other majestic summits of Sarca Valley, as the impressive and towering walls of Monte Brento and Cima alle Coste. Also the adjacent Parete Zebrata to the left is more flashy. However it has a significant interest its vertical and inviting South wall, where we find some high-class climbs, amongst which the most famous and frequently climbed and also less demanding is the superclassic "L'Isola di Nagual". Pala delle Lastiele South Face is a sunny and well exposed wall, on which it's possible to climb pleasantly also during the winter season.

After a few hundred meters it comes off on the left a track that gradually becomes a path. Take this track (a few cairns) in the direction of the obvious dihedral formed between the slabs to the left and the same Pala delle Lastiele to the right. Skirt the base of the wall to the right slightly downhill to find the starting point of the various routes. The first route on the left is Diedro dei Predoni.
Descent: the descent by walking involves to rise to Pain della Paia and then follow a good path to reach the Sarca Valley (2 hours from the summit). Otherwise it's possible to abseil down the routes Emodialisi and Baci di Carta.
