Lorenzo Bogliacino does A muerte bilou 9a (+)

Lorenzo Bogliacino, with two 9a+โ€™ under his belt, has completed A muerte bilou (9a) in Verdon, calling it 9a+. โ€œ After breaking MANY holds I think it is really much harder.โ€

Can you tell us more about the ascent?
After a great deal of hard work over the last few months (about 30 days), in the craziest summer ever, going back and forth from the Verdon, with a thousand changes at work and a 4h30 drive after the night shift, yesterday was the day! I climbed focused and determined all the hard sections and every move. Before doing the last movement, which I had fallen to the last few times, I looked at the hold and it was already in my hand! The run lasted about 1h15๐Ÿ˜… The route goes straight up for 50 meters the middle of the Ramirole!

Incredible to have climbed this route after monsters like Alex Garriga, Bouin and Tanguy Merard; obviously bolted by kinglines maker Antonin Rhodes! Thanks to my 'hermanos fracasados' Gigi and Umbe for the whole summer, Vog and Clu for the last few days and of course to all the fantastic people I met over the past few months from all over the world! In the next post I will talk about the grade, now I just want to enjoy the moment.
