Kaum erstbegangen schon wiederholt. Adam Ondra konnte sich jetzt die erste Wiederholung „Trofeo dell’Adriatico“ von Gabriele Moroni sichern. Adam bestätigte den Grtad 9a+ für die technisch anspruchsvolle Plattenkletterei.

„I have had a few great days in Arco, climbing a lot, juggling between trying (almost) impossible projects, trying more possible projects and visiting new areas trying to onsight or climb something quickly on 2nd go. A few weeks ago, @gabrimoroni made the FA of an obvious project, bolted by David Lama. So obvious you can almost see it from the main square of Arco! Gabri invested 30 sessions into the project and did a great job to turn this project into an instant classic kind of route

The route is defined by an obvious crux 2/3 of the route on bad pinches, with some powerful 8b+ to get there and a spicy and resistant finish on tufa  It took me 2 days to get it done (plus I tried it many years ago when it was not cleaned), I got very close on my first day, but I had to return for the ascent after a rest day. Nevertheless, definitely check out the last meters, which I pretty much underestimated in terms of endurance and I barely made it to the anchor.

It was a great day with @steghiso who was really close to send and who is on the belay. Thank you, David and Gabri for letting us climb on this gem!“ 

Eingebohrt wurde die Route „Trofeo dell’Adriatico“ vor etwa zehn Jahren von einem gewissen David Lama, welcher das Projekt für Gabriele freigab. Schon nach dem ersten Lockdown im Jahr 2020 kam er auf die Idee sich dieser Linie am „Hotel Olivio“ anzunehmen. Ein paar Säuberungsaktionen später konnte es dann losgehen, aber erst jetzt konnte Gabriele die kleingriffige Plattenkletterei beenden und stuft sie mit 9a+ ein.
