8c+ (9a) and more by Jacopo Larcher

Jacopo Larcher has had two amazing weeks in Red River Gorge where he has achieved several personal bests. Yesterday he did Pure Imagination confirming the 8c+ grade by Adam Ondra. "After a quick warm-up, I finally understood the weird move on the lower part, where I fell on all my earlier attempts, and I easily climbed my way up to the chain. Another “5 star” line here in the Red is done. More info at his blog which ends by saying that he is confident about doing Southern Smoke direct, 9a after a rest day and that Melissa is close to sending the original Southern Smoke line, 8c (+).
