Pietro Vidi has done Power of Now (8B+), Tigris sit (8B+) and Dark Matter (8B+) in Magic Wood. In the 8a ranking game, the 21-year-old Italian is #2.

”Dark matter is the longest line in the darkness cave, around 40 moves. I mainly tried it to gain some fitness as it’s super crimpy and powerful and good training for resistant projects in the fall. I tried a bit with Dave [Graham] and we both agree is way harder than any other 8B+ in the cave wich all took me just a couple tries, whereas dark matter was was a bigger fight. It was originally graded 8B+/C but after some breaks we agree it is definitely 8C!

Jorge Diaz-Rullo reports on Instagram that he has done Move (9b) in Flatanger. The Spaniard has been up in Norway for almost two months and two weeks ago he sent Change (9b+). More info to come.
