David Bacci e Matteo Della Bordella hanno salito per la prima volta in libera la via dedicata nel 2007 da Patrick Gabarrou e Cristophe Dumarest a Jean-Christophe Lafaille suL Pilier Dérobé del Freney (versante sud del Monte Bianco) trovando difficoltà fino al 7b+.

Il Pilier Dérobé si trova alla sinistra del più grande e conosciuto Pilone Centrale e come per le altre strutture di questa zona le vie si concludono generalmente in cima alla montagna più alta d’Europa.

We’re back from another great weekend on Mont Blanc! Fueled by curiosity, this time together with David Bacci we decided to head to Pilier Derobè of Freney, which is located just left of Central Pillar of Freney and offers probably the longest approach on Mont Blanc…nevertheless is made of an amazing solid and sharp granite full of cracks! On this wall we repeated and free climbed a route opened in 2007 by @christophedumarest and Patrick Gabarrou and dedicated to Jean Christophe Lafaille. I really love the combination of hard free climbing on traditional gear, in such a complex location at an already considerable altitude. The route is really brilliant, congrats to Christophe and Patrick for the first ascent! – @karpos @kong.italy @vibram @scarpaspa @dfsportspecialist @ragnidilecco @evileye.eyewear
