"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

additional infohi
it is punta Angela, not punta Angelina.
Further, there are two possible places to gain the ridge and start climbing. if you take the first one, it adds 2 hrs of really nice climbing (max grade 5b french) to the route. if you take the second one (classic, most often used), you start with only 3 easy pitches before the first difficult one.
another thing: if you mean by grade the technical difficulty, it is VI, not IV. and it would be convenient to mention that the route is best known under the name "spigolo vinci", or "vinci ridge".
