Bombardino 9a+ by Stefano Ghisolfi
Stefano Ghisolfi has done the first repeat of Adam Ondra's Bombardino (9a+) in Arco. As can be seen in the picture by Sara Grippo, it was freezing conditions including icicles on the neighbor route Liftscheisser (8b).
"It was an epic day, Gio Placci was really close to sending too. We warmed up in my garage and went directly there. The route is perfect for cold conditions because it has three kneebars so we could climb and warm our hands on the kneebars. The temperature was 0, with a lot of ice. Fortunately not on the route, only at the end slab a bit. We arrived and immediately climbed on a send attempt. While belaying it was cold and quite uncomfortable as you cannot move because you have to be tied to a ledge. Climbing was good, we had to wear shorts to feel the kneebars better. It was a crazy experience. Gio climbed first and he had to punch away some icicles. .
On his youtube channel he just published a video where he tries to do 100+ boulders in an hour.
