Gianluca Vighetti FAโs Not so Isili (9a+) and Nara Cixiri (8c+/9a)
Gianluca Vighetti has had a great trip to Isili which begun with a one day ascent of Terzo Tempo (8c+), that took it down from 9a. Later he did the FA of Not so Isili (9a+) and Nara Cixiri (9a). โI propose 8c+/9a for this line, slightly harder than Terzo Tempo. It starts on Terzo Tempo than it goes all the way up-right until before the last crux of Halloween.โ
Can you tell us more about your 9a+ FA?
After doing Terzo Tempo I asked if there were some lines that still waited for the first ascent. Not so Isili was the real ultimate hard route of Isili. It connects the crux of "Terzo Tempo" with the crux of "La signora con La Falce 8c" with a really long and pumpy traverse in the middle. I think this route could be 9a+, maybe a soft one because I felt it a little bit easier than Lapsus but it is much more my style.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
