Gabriele Moroni has been on a tear this season. Last month Gabriele F.A’d several 5.14cs at several Italian crags and this month he does not show any signs of slowing.

Above the small village of Borgone (Valle di Susa) lies the crag Alta Tensione and a beautiful 25m arête that has escaped the wet weather. Garbiele was informed of an undone project that sat on the beautiful arête and he decided to make a trek to try the line. After several days of effort he sent. Gabriele describes the line in his blog:
 
“It starts with a difficult boulder problem with a weird dynamic move to an edge. Then it is very sustained all the way up with difficult slaps and very technical feet moves until you get to a small shake rest on two bad crimpers on more vertical terrain. Next is the redpoint crux where I fell off three times... another weird boulder problem with precise slaps on the arete and very hard feet placements!

The line took Gabriele about three days to piece together and he considers his new line one of the best in Italy and he hopes that someone will repeat it soon!
