โ€œAmazing route! Two hard boulders divided by a rest and some of the best moves out there. Omen Nomen was one of the first 9a routes I ever tried, back when I was a kid starting to come to Arco for climbing. Iโ€™ve always tried it just a few days each year, which is why itโ€™s stayed with me for such a long time. Iโ€™m really happy to see such nice progress, since this year it only took me two days on the route to finally get it done!

What are your competition plans for 2026 and how long will you focus on outdoors before the competition training starts?
Probably till the end of November. For sure the European championships and in general all the world cupsโ€ฆ but just lead.
