Laura Rogora #1 in the VL ranking game
Laura Rogora, who got the bronze in the World Cup this season, is the new Vertical-Life ranking game number one. This is the first time since the Top-10 yearly ascents ranking was introduced in 2000 that we have a female ahead of all male. In total, she has sent a dozen routes 9a or 9a+.
If we only measure onsight, she is superior, with over one grade, on average, above the runner-up, based on ten onsights 8b+ to 8c+ only in 2025. (c) Andrea Donato
If we take the 24-year-oldโs amazing 2025 into a historical context, onlyAdam Ondra, Alex Megos, Stefano Ghisolfi, Sebastien Bouin and Jorge Diaz-Rullo have had a higher annual score.
