Erebor 9b by Stefano Carnati
Stefano Carnati, who previously has done five 9a+, has repeated Stefano Ghisolfi's Erebor (9b) in Arco. "Unforgettable moment, good flow!"
The PhD student in environmental sciences at the University of Como, a three hour drive from Arco, comments on Insta, "...sometimes the weekend warrior mode has its pros. In this situation it definitely gave me time to recognize a better approach forward by analyzing every finest detail in such a way that I could work on my weaknesses during my training routine and possibly be gradually more complete. Since the climb was at my very limit, after each session I was always telling myself that every slightest thing I would improve was ok to keep the process on."
When did you start trying it and how many sessions in total?
I started trying it seriously in November during the weekends (1 or two days). I already had a few sessions a few years ago after Ste Ghiso's ascent. Around 20 sessions in total.
