Alessio Voghera ticks Trip tik tonik (9a)
Alessio Voghera, who climbed his first 8b+ in 2022, continues progressing by one grade per year with the ascent of Trip tik tonik (9a) in Gorges du Loup. (c) Nicolรฒ Vece
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried the route for the first time at the end of June, and I was close to sending it at the end of July โ but unfortunately, a hold in the crux broke. I completely changed the beta in the crux, and it worked, even though it was harder.
In August and September, it was too warm, but this Saturday, the conditions were perfect. The process was both a physical and mental battle. I worked on the route during weekends, even though itโs not close to Turin. But with the help of good friends and my girlfriend Claudia [Ghisolfi], I was able to realize my dream!
