Laura Rogora frees Ferentillo Corvo Morto

Before the lockdown Laura Rogora made the first ascent of Corvo Morto 8c +/9a at Ferentillo. The 18-year old Roman climber has been a driving force behind the upper extreme in Central Italy for the last few years and after establishing routes such as La Gasparata 8c+/9a at Collepardo or It segid narg 8c+ at Sperlonga, this time she focused her attention on an old project at the historic crag of Ferentillo.

The line is a combination of two existing 8c, Corvo put up by Alessandro Lamberti in 1994 and Die Hard freed by Stefano Finocchi that same year. Rogora attempted the route about twenty times last year without success. Success came about on her second attempt on 8 March.

"corvo morto" 8c+/9a I tried this route several times last year but today everything felt easyer and on my second go I could clip the chain of this project. I am not sure about the grade, hard 8c+ or soft 9a I'll wait for some repetitions @mrcmonkey . . . #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #picoftheday #loveclimbing #climbforlife #escalade #escalada #grimper #klettern #montura #wildclimb #campcassin #italy #rome #bomber #instagood #instalike #instagram @climbskinspain @agripp_climbingholds @montura_official @wildclimb @fiammeoromoena
