Claudia Ghisolfi ticks Le cรดtรฉ obscur (8c+)

Claudia Ghisolfi, who two weeks ago sent TTT, her second 9a, has done Le cรดtรฉ obscur (8c+) in Gorges du Loup. โ€For me the hardest part is the first chain of 8c. I fell in the move with the pockets. When I finally managed to do that move I clipped the 8c's chain and than I kept climbing and clipped the 8c+'s chain.โ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried this route at the beginning of June because the sector Dรฉversรฉ (where TTT is) it was wet. Than the competitions season started. I come back in Gorges du Loup at the end of july but I didn't go to jurassic park because Dรฉversรฉ was dry so I prefered to try TTT and to focus 100% on it. After sendind TTT with my boyfriend Alessio Voghera I come back to try the 8c+ and it took me few tries to send it!
