On 11 March the narrow gully wedged between the famous Canale del Dito and Canale Pericle-Sacchi in the Adamello-Presanella range was skied for the first time by Giuliano Bordoni, along with one of freeriding legends Bruno Compagnet, Minna Riihamaki and Oli Herrer.

The gully had been ascended in the past by Tone Moles but never skied before and towards the end a couple of bolts were placed for the abseils. The line checks in at 60° 5.3 AD E4 and in agreement with Moles the gully has now been called "Res-Max"  in memory of the late Maximine Belleville and Res Baehler, two mountain guides and great friends.
