La Rustica 8C by Niky Ceria

Niky Ceria reports on Insta that he has done Jimmy Webb's La Rustica 8C in Valle Bavona. In total, the 27-year-old Italian, who is somewhat under the radar as he never gives his FAs a grade, needed seven sessions to take the masterpiece down. (c) Selfie

"One of the nicest Ticino's additions of the past decade. Something I have always dreamt to try, but somehow I have never come back to this place from 2014 until last March. During this fall trip my hand was more flexible and I could feel different body positions on the super technical third move.

It rarely happens to be attracted and feel deeply connected to something that has already been developed like in this case. At least to me. Certainly not because the boulders I found are better, but different because the whole process includes many enjoyable moments which make the entire experience a different thing. La Rustica is the proper example of the exception."

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
