Camilla Moroni does Bodge Job 8A+ (B)
Can you tell us more about the ascent and what you have been up to lately?
In the last month I decided to try a multi-pitch [climbing] instead of bouldering as usual. I managed to send “La scimmia nuda” (200m max 8a) in Val Bavona. It’s a nice route on a beautiful granite wall. I’d like to send also Super Cirill on the same wall, it’s a famous mixed route in the valley.
During the time I tried “La scimmia nuda” I chose to try Bodge Job (8A+) as a side project. It’s a cool compression boulder first ascended by Nathan Phillips, I really recommend it. For those who want to try it, pay attention to the landing and check it before trying.
