Battle of Hearts 9a FA by Luca Bana

Luca Bana has done the FA of Battle of Hearts (9a) in Paline. "It is basically a different end of "Abusive Love", a 9a link-up I freed in 2018 at Paline's crag. This 'new' one adds some physical moves which make the things a bit more tiring. After the send of "Stone War" 8c+/9a last week, I decided to give some tries to this connection and the process for the send turned out to be super fast, as I already climbed several times all the parts of this portion of rock for the other existing routes: just two sessions were enough to grab the first ascent of this pure stamina beast, where fatigue tolerance is crucial for success: probably one of the biggest challenge against the pump of the whole area!"
