The route "Fantasy" is the true classic of the wall. It starts from the ledge and traverses right, crossing the route "Il Tasso" twice. Near the top it crosses multiple other routes, creating much confusion over the right direction to take (and rope entanglement if there are other parties).

- Descent
-
It is possible to abseil the route (or neighbouring routes). Alternatively, descend southwards on foot, passing a few outcrops, before ambling through the woods to reach the Nostrano sector. Here you meet the main path coming down from the alp which takes you comfortably back to Avegno.
- History

Lorenzo Petazzi and Renzo Ghisla have rebolted "Fantasia" and 3 other routes on the Scaladri in 2021.
The route "Principio d'autunno" (Principle of Autumn) is in need of re-bolting!
