Mauro Bubu Bole continues to free historic aid routes with a vengance! This time it the Italian free one of the most eyed-up overhangs in the Dolomites, the mythical Italia '61first climbed over 40 years ago by Bepi De Francesch, Quinto Romanin, Emiliano Vuerich and Cesare Franceschetti, on the highly popular south face of the Piz Ciavazes, Sella.


Bubu Bole climbed the route up to mid-height ledge, the Cengia dei Camosci, where almost all climbers then return to the valley floor. The crux of the route is comprised of two pitches that weave through the stepped 4m roofs, and now go free at 7c+ and 8a.
