Water World 9a by Matteo Menardi
Matteo Menardi, who did his first 9a five years ago at age 15, has done his seventh 9a, Water World in Osp/Misja Pec. "The difficult part is long more or less 30 moves, then good rests and the unique Osp cave style. Definitely a 55 metres benchmark for this crag."
What about going for a 9a+?
I have a lot of ideas, trying routes in the Arco area is one of them. I would also like to travel more. Margalef, Ceuse and Flatanger are the first areas that come to my mind.
