Two 8a onsights for Laura Rogora (13)

Laura Rogora, who onsighted two 7c+ last week, has started her Easter holiday in Margalef by onsighting two 8a's, Transilvania and Telemaster. The 13 year old has previously done two 8c's. Laura started to climb when she was four years old. "I was a little afraid but I really loved it immediately." Now she trains five days a week, mainly in a great boulder gym. I have got a trainer and he is very good. He always gives me good advises not just about the sport but also for many aspect of my life. I' m training alone because in Rome there aren't many strong people at the same age as me but I would like have someone to train with. I love to overcome my limit, winning the steady struggle with myself, and whether I do not succeed, I still like to feel the harmony with the rock experiencing each single movement.
