It’s not the most difficult problem at the world-famous Buttermilks area close to Bishop in California, but it’s likely to be one the most aesthetic: Gnocchi, located high up in the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain rage. The problem was freed by Elliot Faber on 18/12/2013 at a surprisingly low grade of V7 (7A+), but it goes without saying that 10m above a crashpad, difficulties increase... considerably.
