Aurora 8c+ FA by Matteo Gambaro (45)
Gambaro Matteo, who did his fourth 9a this spring, has done the FA of Aurora 8c+ in Albenga. It is 35m long. First chain after 15m 7a+, 2nd 25mt 8a+, good rest and 10m extension. In total the 45-year-old has bolted 160 routes out of which 45 in this crag.
"I finished bolting this spring and this summer hard to try due to high temperature and style. The first 8a+ is endurance and physical tufa style challenge and you arrive in the good rest. After changing style and intensity. The exit is fingerstyle and needs good condition.. (for me).
