9a FA by Gabriele Moroni
Gabriele Moroni, #3 in the bouldering WC in 2009, has made the first repeat of a new 8c+ Markus Bock route as well as the FA of Sid Lives 9a, both in Arco.
"Incredible bouldery route I bolted a couple of years ago. I think it's a hard 8B boulder into another 7B/B+ boulder. All in 10meters of climbing. 9a? Let's see what other people think!"
Based on that he is a boulder expert who has done several short 9a's before. Climbers will probably think it is pretty hard.
