Luca Bacer sends Sanjski Par extension
Can you tell us more about Sanjski Par?
I started trying the route a couple of seasons ago, without knowing if I'd ever manage to send it one day. I started to put more effort into it only last season and I soon sent the first anchor (8c+), but then some injuries stopped me. This season I felt more prepared and I immediately started making some good links, managing to climb the first pitch 8 times. Last week conditions were good and I finally succeeded in climbing all the way to the top of the extension.
Working this route really taught me to appreciate the way the first climbers had done it and I wanted to respect their style by doing exactly the same line with the same tools of the time. ... Like this, trying and eventually climbing the route proved even more fun and challenging for me.
