A contender for the first 8C+. Gioia has a slightly complicated history due to the fragile nature of the rock and the required reinforcements. After a couple of repeats from [Adam Ondra](/climber/467/adam-ondra) and [Nalle Hukkataival](/climber/602/nalle-hukkataival), [Daniel Woods](/climber/516/daniel-woods) and [Dave Graham](/climber/503/dave-graham) came to try the problem and discovered some new beta using a foothold that appeared after some rock broke. Christian then filled the new hold in to bring the problem back to it's original state.
