\nOn Saturday, Sept. 11th, 2010, Matteo Della Bordella was back on the south wall of the easternmost of the Cime d’Auta, (in Dolomites, near to Marmolada) where ten days earlier, with Luca Auguadri, carried out \u00a0the first repetition of 2 spit alla fine, a rather expo route (8 pitches 8a, 7c obl.) opened in 2007 by Manolo and Omar Genuin.

\nThis time, with Alexander Ba\u00f9, managed the onsight ascent\u00a0of\u00a0Spirit: 10 pitches \u00a0graded 7c \/ 8a. Spirit was first ascended by Alpine Guide from Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo Massimo da Pozzo (Mox) with Danilo Serafini and dates back to September 2003.

\nBefore Matteo, also Ricky Scarian and Manolo onsighted \u00a0Spirit, ( Manolo graded \u00a0the route7c – Matteo agrees) The intention of Alexander and Matthew was to complete the repetition of Fantasia, the great route of Maurizio Giordani on Marmolada south wall, \u00a0where few days ago the two had to stop just seven pitches from the end due to the bad weather. Even this time, however, had to change target \u00a0because the wall was very wet.

\nWe asked Matteo a few words about Spirit, here they are:
\n
\n"It ‘s a very beautiful route, the same solid limestone full of\u00a0small pockets\u00a0as in\u00a0the nearby "2 spit alla fine" and also very similar to that of the Marmolada. Compared to the route of Manolo, this \u00a0is more sporty , impeccably bolted, you always have beautiful sequences between\u00a0bolts but the distance is never excessive and such that the route becomes dangerous (except on easy part, of course). The crux is on the vertical face-climbing, climb it on-sight \u00a0for me was a real\u00a0fight because it was not easy to read the rock\u00a0without any sign of chalk\u00a0. About the degree I can’t say, I was at my limit, but maybe I have also complicated my life by myself\u00a0\u00a0in some sequences.
\nToo bad you have finished the routes \u00a0to do\u00a0at Cime d’Auta, there would more like "2 spit alla fine" or "Spirit"! "<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
