Via Rodeo on Pilastro Moni

Start right at the trail and climb up a bit to the right of the initial sling. There's a blue bolt a few meters up and then the route veers to the left over some grassy bits. Aim for the obvious ridge going straight up. There's a sling anchor right below it.

The route goes more to the left than we expected and so we ended the first pitch prematurely at the penultimate sling. But it doesn't really matter.

Follow the obvious ridge going straight up. There are 4 slings along fun, more vertical climbing on good holds.

The pitch ends with a blue bolt protecting a small bulge. Climb it on the right side and exit onto a generous ledge with a cemented ring for an anchor.

One of the more fun pitches.

Traverse two meters left and climb diagonally back to the right to overcome the bulge above the anchor. Or climb straight up using the crack above the anchor to spice things up.

Continue following the ridge up through 4 slings, then cross a short grassy scrambly part and aim for a west facing, yellow niche on the left side of the ridge. There's a cemented ring in there for the next anchor.

Walkie-talkies might come in handy here as you won't see your partner and crossing the grass might get a little rope-draggy.

Exit the yellow niche on the right and make a few fun moves up a dihedral on the right side of the ridge. It looks exposed but it's not.

After those few moves and clipping a sling, scramble up over another grassy meadow towards a cemented ring in a vertical wall.

Another fun pitch with some good climbing. Start following the ledge going diagonally up to the left towards a big dihedral.

Cross over to the other pillar on the left (earlier than you'd think), clip a sling, and climb up to a blue bolt.

Climb to the top of the pillar crowned by a rock horn that used to be the original anchor. There are two bolts a few meters further marked by some orange paint.

Super short pitch, just a few moves up the ridge protected by 2 slings. Then cross another grassy meadow up to a cemented ring slightly to the left.

You should be able to see the Moni pillar a bit higher up on the left side of the ridge from the belay.

Exit the belay station to the left, and climb back over the ridge to the right. Scramble up on the right side of the ridge to a small pillar with a sling at the top.

Downclimb the pillar to get to the meadow behind it, still staying on the right side of the ridge.

We ended the pitch there to avoid the rope drag and we crossed to the base of the last pitch unroped. There is no exposure and there is an actual visible trail there.

Last pitch starts on a rock horn under the vertical yellow rocks.

Climb over the gray rocks on the left of the rock horn to a blue bolt and then follow the slings up towards the dihedral on your left.

Cross the dihedral onto the Moni pillar on the left and climb up to the summit. We used a quad sling to make an anchor over the horn at the summit of the pillar.
