9a+ by Stefano Carnati (17)

Stefano Carnati, who previously has done one 9a, has sent Goldrake in Cornalba which Adam Ondra put up 2010 as an 9a+. The 17 year old, who was #2 in the Youth World Championship last year, did only project the 9a+ route for five days. - "I started to work on this route in late January. It took me five days for a total of 13 tries. Since the first attempts I was able to do all the sequences quite well. The send was very unexpected! I felt four times at a point before the real crux. Yesterday I was able to do that part and I went through the hard section. I did everything perfectly, climbed the last slab calmly and I found myself at the chain of this route!" Gabri Moroni, who did the first repeat, gives credit on FB; - What the New Generation can do... What it took 3 years of my life, becoming a real life experience and a good way to understand my personal limits it is a normal thing for them... A random day at the crag and eventually they found them self clipping the chain of 9a's... Very inspiring! Good job Stefano Carnati!!!
