Pietro Vidi adds Roadkill (8C) to his ticklist
"It was quite an unexpected one! I would have never thought to be able to do the first kneebar and for two days I couldn’t do the move. On the third day I randomly stuck the move thanks to Dave's [Graham] precious tips, and I fell on the easy part not being able to keep my mind together. I came back the day after, stuck the move first try and didn’t let go on the high exit! For sure, it is one of the most beautiful lines in Bavona, even though it all revolves around the first move."
