Era Vella, 9a by Reffo Silvio

Silvio Reffo continues to show great form and has done Era Vella, 9a in Margalef. Pictures and more info in Italian. The high quality route was set up by Chris Sharma and it is almost 40 m and most of it overhangs 45 degrees. "I started to try it two weeks ago. It is very beautiful, no hard moves, but a war with the pump. In this season is very difficult as the temperature made my hands like ice!" The plan is to stay one more month and now move to Santa Linya and Oliana. Then he plans to start training for the WC and to do some hard routes in Italy.
