Camilla Moroni does The Traphouse (raccourci) 8A+
”After Laval I came to Font. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best but I still managed to send “C’etait demain” very quickly and “Traphouse raccourci”. Tomorrow I will take part in a comp in Paris and after that, I hope the weather will be better so I can try to finish my projects in the forest. I’d like to send The Traphouse (8B+), [the lower original Paul Robinson start] and Partage (8A+).”
