Buma Ye (5.14c) was put up several seasons ago by Dani Andrada.  The climb involves multiple sections of V9-10 moves coupled with pure power.  It is considered one of the most aesthetically pleasing lines in Margalef. While on the last leg of a Spanish road-trip Gabriele Moroni was able to sure up his beta and clip the chains of this beautiful line.
 
 
Gabriele went through several highs and lows while working on the route. He commented that “every move felt so heinous” and that he had to save all his power to meet the crux. Congrats Gabriele!
