First 9a by Stefano Carnati (17)
Stefano Carnati, Euro Youth Champion and #2 in the World Championship 2015, has done his first 9a, Coup de Grace in Sonlerto. It was put up by David Graham in 2005 as a 9a+ and repeated by Gabri Moroni, who gave it a personal grade of 9a.
"I tried this route for the first time about one year ago and soon realized it was too hard for my level. This year I came back really motivated to try it again and after some tries I managed to figure out the moves, but linking them seemed impossible! Last week, my father drove me to Sonlerto. Conditions were good and I felt quite well. After a good attempt, on my third go I set on send-mode, climbed the first part quickly, took a long rest before the roof and went through the last section until the final jug! I tried to calm down a bit and then climbed the final slab to the top of this big boulder! Coup de Grace was done!!!!"
