Can you give us your story behind the ascent?
I started trying Trip Tik Tonik 9a, at the end of July, after the first part of the competition season. I was there in Gorges du Loup for a short trip with Laura Rogora, Giovanni Placci and other friends. I was near to send it just after few tries but than Giovanni broke an hold and the boulder section became harder for me. Finally this Saturday I sent it! I'm so proud of this ascent because it's considered one of the best 9a in France! Now fingers crossed for my boyfriend Alessio Voghera that is trying this route as well 🤞🏻

What is next?
3-4 October there is the Italian championship in Arco. After the end of the competition season I'll go somewhere with my boyfriend but we don't know if we will go to Rodellar or Gorges du loup.
