Claudia Ghisolfi does two 8cโs
Claudia Ghisolfi, who did a 9a in 2022, has during the last week sent Suka (8b+) in Albenga and Semplicemente mia 2.0 (8c) in Novalesa.
Can you tell us more about those two 8Cโs?
"Suka" was 8b+ really hard and it didn't have many repetitions. For this reason in the new guidebook it is 8c. It's a tricky 8c, without the right beta is not so easy.
"Semplicemente mia 2.0" is a route near my home town, if you are small there is an hard move at the beginning of the route, for this reason I first sent "Le clochard 2.0" that is an 8b+ that share the last part with the 8c. After sending it I tried and tried that hard move of the 8c and when I finally did the move I sent the route!
