With all the talent cliffside in Ceuse including David Lama, Adam Ondra, and Enzo Oddo no one seemed to notice Gabriele Moroni as he cleaned up his long time personal project L'Arcademicien. The line is a technical 8c (5.14b) in the Demi Lune sector and in classic Ceuse style it revolves around mini features, small pockets, and crimpers!

Moroni attempted this problem last season and came very close until another visiting climber broke a crucial crux hold which caused Moroni to revisit his beta and to walk away empty handed. This year he came back, reworked his beta and finally nabbed the ascent.
