- I think this was one of the best edition, four sunny days and a lot of people. The boulders were really cool, and a bit harder than previous years, the organization was perfect all days. There were 12 competition boulders, more than the past years, so climbers had the possibility to climb more on problems set (brushed and cleaned) by Simone Pedeferri during the past months.
There were 2800 participants and the valley was full of people. EpicTV will release soon a video with interviews and climbing during these days. During the evenings were presented many videos from Jorg Verhoeven, Mauro Calibani, Stefano Ghisolfi, Silvio Reffo, Simone Pedeferri, and people had great fun.
Noteworthy is that a local newspaper reported that the police had found drugs in 16 out of 23 Melloblocco "suspicious faces'" cars on Saturday night.
