Giorgio Tomatis FAโ€™s Salto del Drago (9a)

Giorgio Tomatis, with eight 9aโ€™s to his name, has done the first ascent of Salto del Drago (9a) in Finale. โ€Itโ€™s pretty short, I think it's 20 meters and for sure 15 on the roof. It was such a beautiful experience to do the FA of the first 9a of Finale, the route is really intense and bouldery in an incredible roof, compared with the other 9a I did I think this is its grade! Congrats to Lore Fornaro for see and bolt this incredible line๐Ÿ˜โ€

Can you tell us more putting up the first 9a in Finale?
I started try this amazing route bolted by lorenzo fornaro last year, I wasnโ€™t able to find all the sequence and I found it really hard๐Ÿฅต This year I come back stronger, in two days I was able to find all the betas and yesterday I send it Itโ€™s such a incredible nice route, really steep and boulder! About the grade I thought a lot and I think it can be for sure 9a comparing myself with the ones Iโ€™ve already send.
