Claudia Ghisolfi ticks Trip tik tonik (9a)
Claudia Ghisolfi, who sent her first 9a in 2022, has completed Trip tik tonik (9a) in Gorges du Loup. The 29-year old Italian has been an active competition climber since 2010 and this summer she was #6 in a Euro Cup. (c) Crimp Films
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 ๐ค๐ป
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.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
