Heritage 8B (+) and two 8A+ by Camilla Moroni
The last week, the silver medalist in the World Championship in 2021, did Kings of Sonlerto 8A+ (B) in Valle Bavona and Second life (8A+) in Chironico. "Finally the temperatures have dropped and there are good conditions to try hard stuff. I have tried King of Sonlerto two weeks ago and it seemed really hard, but two days ago whit the right conditions it felt much easier than the previous session. Regarding Second Life I think it is absolutely a soft 8A+."
So what is next? The winter season has just started?
I don't have other projects because now I start training for the next season. Probably I will climb on rock a few more weekends.
