Erebor 9b/+ by Laura Rogora

Laura Rogora reports on Insta that she has done the first repeat of Stefano Ghisolfi's Erebor 9b/+ in Arco. Ghisolfi comments, "I just want to tell you that Bibliographie is not so much tougher. If you haven't booked your 2022 holidays yet take it as a suggestion 🙂. " (c) Overchalked

As it stands, only six male climbers have done routes harder than 9b/+. The 20-year-old Italian, who is only 1.52cm tall, had previously done 19 routes graded 8c+/9a to 9b, which is significantly more than any other female climber. She did her first 9a at age 14, and since then she has won 15 IFSC events including two World Cups.
