Andrea Polo, one of the most talented climbers in NE Italy, has managed an extremely rare repeat of "Sogni di Gloria", the historic route at Erto first ascended by Gerhard Hörhager exactly 20 years ago, in 1987.

At the time the Austrian graded the route 8b+/c and the grade has not shifted much since then, just like on his other Erto two testpieces, "Ritorno di Ringo" and "Mister Rase", two 8b's and both ideal for dreams of glory.
