Andrea Chelleris, 14, sends Thunder Ribes (9a)
Andrea Chelleris, who two years ago sent Puro Dreaming 8c+/9a and who this spring became the U-14 Italian Slalom Champion, has done Thunder Ribes (9a) in Arco.
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I spent 4 days and 7 tries plus one in November last year. My idea was to send Underground (9a) but it was too hot so I decided to change route. This was better because it is endurance with a hard boulder in the last part of the route with a two-finger jam. I thought to do it faster but it was hot so I slipped a lot at that finger jam.
