Route
Demanding and sustained climb.
"All said are done there are 10 pitches, 9 new ones plus a final easy pitch shared with another route. The route climbs an extraordinary void, offers a nice variety of climbing styles the demand a disturbing amount of stamina for final redpoint that sealed our efforts."
Access
The route starts to the right of Maurizio Giordani’s masterpiece Fiore di Corall.

Take care if making the descent by abseil; this is complex due to the overhanging nature of the climb and the fact that some pitches ascend diagonally

Climbed on 20/01/2023 free with Megan Cosgrove. I led all pitches. Pitch 8, in my opinion the hardest one, is the true crux. Hanging belay, very steep and exposed climbing. And totally amazing! I’m honored to climb such a beautiful route! Thanks to Larcher and Giupponi for for all work!
