F-k the system 9a by Giorgio Tomatis (19)
"My trip to Santa Linya started on the 28 of December. I climbed some classic routes like Rollito Sharma (8b+) on flash. I did also Blomu L3 (8c+) and then I started to try Blomu L3 (8c+). This amazing route has two hard boulder problems with a good rest in between and then a jump to the last holds. I started trying it with really bad conditions and it made me think it's a tough 9a and maybe it takes me time to send but when the condition improved I felt better on the moves and the day after a really good links day I was able to climb it!"
The 19-year-old is also a successful competition climber having made the podium in Euro Youth Cups eight times, including winning one event in 2021.
What are your 2023 plans and ambition?
When I go back to Italy I restart my training plan and at the end of February, the boulder competition start. My ambition are to do some good result in competition, better then the past season!
