25 Apr New Cracks in Corse by Oviglia and Larcher

 
On April 13-14 th Maurizio Oviglia and Rolando Larcher have managed the first ascent of a new route in Corse at Punta U Corbu (Colle della Bavella). On two intense days of work, the duo climbed a beautiful cracks system on the left of the famed Delicatessen (Arnaud Petit – Stephanie Bodet 120m 8b), still unclimbed in reason of a roof “protecting” the overhanging cracks leading straight to the top of this incredible structure.
 
It is a trad route, Oviglia and Larcher placed only cams, and 13 bolts on the links sections.The route shows two 7c pitches (the first being a traverse requiring physical endurance, the second a marvelous pitch on crack as all granite lovers dream about).
 
The route was called De Rerum naturae (being climbed duringVulcan eruption in Iceland) and is 230 m with continual difficulties 6b+ 7c. Oviglia and Larcher redpointed the route on April 16th, Larcher leading the two 7c pitches.
