Andrea Locatelli, 13, FA’s Il Bombarolo (8c+)
”In the last months I climbed mainly indoors with few opportunities to climb outside. I am therefore very happy to have sent Il Bombarolo, especially because it has been bolted by my friend and mountain guide Maurizio Tasca, a strong climber and very active in discovering new crags here around Bergamo. Unfortunately, there are currently problems of coexistence with the owners of the land where the cliff is and we prefer to not say where is it. The proposed grade is to be confirmed! I really like changing from indoor climbing, bouldering and cragging, trying to have fun (first of all) but even improve!”
