Laura Rogora completes Goldrake 9a (+) in 2 sessions
Laura Rogora, the European Lead as well as Combined Champion three weeks ago, has repeated Adam Ondraโs Goldrake (9a+) in Cornalba. The same day she also onsighted Jedi (8b). Previously, the 23-year-old has done more than 20 routes 8c+/9a and harder which is almost twice as many as the runner-up, Anak Verhoeven. (c) Giancarlo "Abi" Sironi
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I tried it on Tuesday. On my second go I did it with one rest and on my fourth go I fell on the last hard move. I tried once again but I was a bit tired, so I came back the day after and did it on my first go. I solved all the moves quite fast but it took me some tries to find the best beta. The route and the rock are very nice, with small crimps on a slightly overhanging wall.
What is next?
I am going to Korea the day after tomorrow.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
