In collaboration with the festival, Ferrino has premiered Gorropu in a dedicated area of its website on Monday, 21 September.

The Project
The film Gorropu, directed by Francesco Pierini, Ivan Frattina and Filippo Maragno, is named after a gorge in Sardinia where Aleksandra Taistra completed her famous day-time ascent of the Hotel Supramonte climbing route (8b max/7c obbl.; 400 m). Hotel Supramonte was originally established by Rolando Larcher and Roberto Vigiani in 1999, and has since become one of the most popular multi-pitch rock climbs in Europe. The film follows Aleksandra’s every move, from her initial approach, to the moment she concludes her ambitious ascent, in October 2019.
But this is by no means the tale of a mere rock climb, it’s a journey that also touches on important emotional and sentimental aspects. It’s a film about endurance and perseverance, but also personal maturity and the act of completing something that’s out of reach for most people. In Gorropu, we witness first-hand just how much concentration is required to complete such a difficult, intense climb, and how battling through failed attempts and bad weather conditions can be a means of important self-discovery.
Aleksandra wears Rock Slave and uses Ferrino High Lab camping equipment during her climbs. “We are incredibly proud to support Aleksandra and Gorropu. Taistra is a strong and determined climber, capable of using her climbing skills as a means of achieving growth and striving for something beyond sheer athletic pleasure,” states Anna Ferrino, CEO of Ferrino.
