Cristian Brenna and Stefano Alippi have repeated Altman at Sasso Remenno, in Val Masino, N. Italy, suggesting 8b/b+ instead of the original 8c put forward by the first ascentionist Simone Pedeferri.

As Brenna put's it "we think it's more like 8b/b+ instead of 8c but it remains nevertheless a beautiful route with just one small beauty spot: a chipped hold instead of a tiny crystal that broke off when Simone tried the route".

To finish off the day Brenna flashed Java 8a+, after having seen Simone Pedeferri repeat the route.
