9a (8c+) by Diego Marsella (44)

Diego Marsella, who started climbing in 1986, has repeated his hardest route Analogica Natural Left recording it with a personal 8c+ grade. Previously he had fallen 12 times at the last move. What is amazing, he did not do any warming up beside some fingerboard and stretching exercises. (c) Manobu Yomena How is it possible to be at your peak at 44 and what is your next project? For motivation and passion for climbing. I believe climbing as a life style. I do not care the myths about the ages. I do what I love. I do not have projects beside living the vida loca.
