Georg Parma ticks Forgotten Gem (8C)

Georg Parma has completed Forgotten Gem (8C) in Chironico. The 27-year-old first time made the VL/8a headlines in 2012 when he won the European Championship in Lead and flashed an 8a+ at age 14.

โ€So happy about this ascent. It has been the third season on it and I knew I had it in me to send this time. Still the line between failure and success is extremely thin, which makes me proud to have climbed this one. Frist of this grade for me. Thx to all the people that joined me on this line... Jonas, Maxi, Clem, Thomas... and Tina for capturing it and believing in me!โ€
