Four 8As by Camilla Moroni
"After the European Championship in Munich I went three days in Silvretta for a little break before my last international competition of the year, the Lead WC in Koper. Since my trip lasted only three days I decided not to try too hard boulders and to enjoy the new place. It was really good climbing some beautiful lines at 2000 metres surrounded by mountains. During this little break, I managed to send Diamond Nuts (8A), Pretty Belinda (8A), Shining (8A) and . I climbed the last two boulders on the same day but I had already tried them on the first day. In the next month probably I will come back to Magic Wood to send some old projects of the last year. And this winter I'd like to send some hard boulders in Ticino like Heritage (8B+)."
