Dear Summer, I do love you and it’s been amazing but this year you were way too hot! 🥵 if you decide to finally be over, I would be more than happy about some moderate temperatures 😅

Last week I accompanied the annual rock climbing camp of the KLETTERHALLE ROCKARENA kids team and it was once again a memorable one. To watch the motivation and the passion and the fun the kids had, made me realize why I love this sport so much!!!
And it’s crazy to think where climbing has taken me since I participated in my first AVS - Alpenverein Südtirol climbing camp when I was 12. It was the first time I got to climb outdoors, slept away from home, made new friends, talked all night 😴🤣
Climbing is so much more than just climbing

It’s been a great trip to 🇨🇭
On sighting two 8a’s on the same day was the climbing highlight but there was so much more. So many beautiful mountain views and sunsets, relaxing moments by the various lakes, van life with my bestie , waking up at 5.30 by the cow bells (might sound romantic but I prefer to sleep in 🤣🙃) buying amazing 🧀 right where it’s produced ⛰️
All in all another memorable trip for the books

Getting to climb in a new crag not too far from home is a rare pleasure but thanks to the tireless work of some people that keep bolting and developing new crags it sometimes happens. Even though the heat was crazy 🥵 I really enjoyed the day!!!
Grazie mille .nicolodi per avermi portata nel bellissimo libro aperto, tanta stima per tutto il lavoro che ci metti!

Back home from a memorable LaSportiva meeting at the Frankenjura . These events are unique occasions to meet new team members, to catch up with the ones you haven’t met in a while, get inspired by how strong everybody is, by the different characters we have, the different climbing disciplines we represent and to share simple moments of doing what we all love: climbing.
Can’t wait to see you all in Arco 🤗
Thank you so much for making this possible and for letting me be part of this incredible team since something like 21 years 🤯. I could’t be more grateful.
Little ticklist of the trip:
The Flow, Vogelherdgrotte 8a flash
Unknown? 8a at Schlaraffenland 2nd go
Götterhämmerung 7c+ flash
Pretty happy with this, considering that I always thought that the short, bouldery Frankenjura routes are totally not my style 😅

10 days of amazing climbing, during whose we experienced them all: rain, fog, sun, strong wind, cold hands and the first beach day of the season.

Here is a list of the harder lines I’m super happy to have been able to climb. To every route there is always a little story:
Profanity has for sure the longest sequence of underclings I have ever climbed 😅. It was very windy and cold that day and I couldn’t almost feel my fingers, got crazy pumped but somehow made it through the crux and to the ancor 8b ✔️

Mondo in fuga at the Torre dei venti crag is definitely a king line, overlooking the village of Ulassai. I had tried this route the last day of a previous trip and really wanted to come back to it. The cruxy sequence of pockets on the steepest part of the wall is followed by some tiny crimps that fortunately get better the more you climb up 8b ✔️

Canna cinese is a line I have wanted to try for years. It follows a single tufa in the upper part of the wall of Lecorci, what is special about this route is that you can mostly crimp the tufa on the sides instead of pinching it. Getting to onsight it the first day was a perfect start to the trip. 8a os
Croce e dilizia 7c+ 2nd go the same day

Avvortici - this route turned out to have 3 wet sections and I’m simply proud of myself that I kept trying and fighting instead of giving up with the excuse of wet holds. 8a os

Pentothal might not be the most repeated route of the area, with it’s bouldery, powerful start which is for sure not my style but I enjoyed the challenge. 8a 4th go

Pupazetto - there was not the slightest trace of chalk on this line and searching my way up that blank, grey wall where the whole surface seemed to be the same was an experience on it’s own 😅 7c+ os

Thanks for the great times climbing, cooking, chatting, hanging out by the beach and having a couple of Spritz 🍹

The past few weeks around Arco have been simply perfect. Weather was mostly great, shape seems to be on point and the people I spent time with added some extra motivation to the already very high psyche.

I’m also very happy that I’m back in “fight mode”. I have been climbing for so many years now and I know that the shape has ups and downs and so does the mind but it stil feels weird when on a low. For some time I could convince myself only to climb in my comfort zone which means that I would mostly try an 8a os or to work it within a day (I am aware that this is a good result and am totally not complaining 😅) but I felt a bit guilty for not trying harder stuff on my limit. But I was sure that the try hard mode would come back and it did.

It feels a bit strange to share those feelings here but I guess we all deal with ups and downs and there is no need to hide them.

Tick list of the past 2 weeks
Continental 8b+ 5th go
Un tempo per te 8b 4th go
Generator 8a+ 3rd go
Shiraz 8a+ 2nd go
Schizza Talon Variante 8a+ 3rd go
Baraka 7c+ 2nd go
