First ascended from the ground-up with bolts, the route is dedicated to their teacher Franco Cavallaro who, together with Giuanguido Dalfovo, carried out the first repeat and redpoint on 17 November 2008. These commented: "The route climbed by strong Canale and Mazzotti is very beautiful. After a first pitch, which needs a bit of cleaning, the route continues up fantastic grey limestone which turns yellowish on the last pitch. The crux third pitch needs good footwork. Worth repeating, the grades await confirmation. Congratulations to the first ascentionists."
